Worth the investment for a personal library. ( ) A scholarly collection of carols from the Middle Ages to the present day. The jacket notes call it "the most comprehensive carol anthology in existence... magisterial in its historical and geographical scope." There are over 300 settings of carols for the Christmas season, composed carols and folk music, sacred and secular, spanning the Catholic and Protestant traditions, from European, American and English sources and a number of languages. The music is edited from primary sources wherever possible, designed to encourage a variety of performance options. Comprehensive background information on history and performance for each item, much of it the result of fresh research. A fascinating reference book, not so useful for a musician's working copy (far too thick and heavy for use in performance). Some of these carols have been wonderfully recorded by Andrew Parrott conducting the Taverner Consort and the Taverner Singers. "The Carol Album: Seven Centuries of Christmas" and a sequel called "The Carol Album 2". ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Edited by early music experts Hugh Keyte and Andrew Parrott, this anthology of Christmas carols is the most comprehensive collection ever made, spanning seven centuries of caroling in Britain, continental Europe, and North America. Containing music and text of 201 carols, many in more than one setting, the book is organized in two sections: composed carols, ranging from medieval Gregorian chants to modern compositions, and folk carols, including not only traditional Anglo-American songs but Irish, Welsh, German, Czech, Polish, French, Basque, Catalan, Sicilian, and West Indian songs as well. Each carol is set in four-part harmony, with lyrics in both the original language and English. Accompanying each song are detailed scholarly notes on the history of the carol and on performance of the setting presented. The introduction to the volume offers a general history of carols and caroling, and appendices provide scholarly essays on such topics as fifteenth-century pronunciation, English country and United States primitive traditions, and the revival of the English folk carol. The Oxford Book of Carols, published in 1928, is still one of Oxford's best-loved books among scholars, church choristers, and the vast number of people who enjoy singing carols. This volume is not intended to replace this classic but to supplement it. Reflecting significant developments in musicology over the past sixty years, it embodies a radical reappraisal of the repertory and a fresh approach to it. The wealth of information it contains will make it essential for musicologists and other scholars, while the beauty of the carols themselves will enchant general readers and amateur songsters alike.
