Supervised by Kei Hara and Soji Kitamura for the Japanese edition. Reprinted in 1986, published by the United Church of Christ in Japan Publishing House. An excellent companion for Christmas. Abundantly illustrated for every home. A collection of classic carols. Features artistic works taken from historical masterpieces in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Contains 41 well-known carols, some of which are resounding choral harmonies, and others with uplifting descants. Arrangements are available for unison or four-part chorus, with or without piano accompaniment. Carols such as "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child," "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming," and "The First Nowell" were specially arranged for this collection by British musicologists. It is highly enjoyable for both experienced singers and those who sing only once a year. The cover is slightly discolored, but it has been used very little and is in near-new condition. There are no markings.
