Christmas carols of the world - Choral collection
Description
Christmas is celebrated throughout the world - sometimes at the
end of December, sometimes at the beginning of January. And
everywhere, singing Christmas carols is part of the celebrations.
Some carols, such as Adeste fideles or Stille Nacht are sung
throughout the world, but many countries have their own particular
carols which reflect their own customs and traditions. These
Christmas carols from all over the world feature in the latest
instalment of the LIEDERPROJEKT which is published in autumn
2015.
The choral anthology Christmas carols of the world enriches the
Christmas repertoire for choirs, with lots of exciting choral
arrangements of a selection of 85 international Christmas carols.
It is edited by Volker Hempfling and contains arrangements by
composers from 23 countries in their original languages, including
John Rutter, John Høybye, Mark Sirett, Wolfram Buchenberg, Matti
Hyökki and Fredo Jung.The settings for mixed choir a cappellare
extremely varied, ranging from easy to difficult. Some have
accompaniment for keyboard instrument. A CD with samples from the
book sung by the Calmus Ensemble Leipzig and the Athesinus Consort
Berlin is included to the director's score.
