Reviews'just right for the ordinary carol singer in school, home, church, and/or community, i.e., for those who experience afresh each Christmas the dance-like exuberance of singing carols together The Hymn (USA), 'Now that both The New Oxford Book of Carols and The Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols are available, choral directors have the best of both worlds. The larger collection, with its extensive appendixes and meticulous scholarship, serves as an excellent reference tool. The shorter anthology provides choir members with an inexpensive collection of carols that are beautifully edited and presented.' Choral Journal, 'Without question the Christmas publishing event of 1993 is the Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols. Time and again the effect is similar to an art gallery cleaning of an Old Master painting: the original colours and meanings, both textual and musical, come alive under the attentions of enlightened scholarship. This exposure of the hidden richness which goes to make up a tradition we often take unthinkingly for granted unites the best sort of academic and performing scholarship, and is not to be missed' The Singer, 'The Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols is easy to read and use and is full of information about each carol. This new Christmas carol book would be an attractive addition to anyone's library' Early Music Newsletter, 'Without question the Christmas publishing event of 1993 is the Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols. Time and again the effect is similar to an art gallery cleaning of an Old Master painting: the original colours and meanings, both textual and musical, come alive under the attentions ofenlightened scholarship. This exposure of the hidden richness which goes to make up a tradition we often take unthinkingly for granted unites the best sort of academic and performing scholarship, and is not to be missed' The Singer, 'Like the cavalry coming over the hill, The Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols is a real godsend ... giving a wonderfully full range of carols both old and new. This is a very important volume which I feel sure will be snapped up instantly and become a key work for many years to come. Other publications tend to pale a little beside this new volume' The Organ, Praise from the main volume: "Not only is The New Oxford Book of Carols awonderful book of song, it is at the same time an invaluable source ofhistorical information....Both the scholar and general reader can benefit fromthe mountain of informaiton provided."--The Washington Post Book World, "Whether you are a musician or not, NOBC will make a wonderful firesidebook to dip into at Christmas....An excellent resource which should be usedwidely by musicians in schools, churches, amateur choirss, and bands."--TheMusical Times, 'They are, simply, indispensable, and you buy whichever you can afford ... it should be on the shelves of every school music department. Imaginatively employed in creative and historical work, it would be worth the investment as an aid to GCSE and A-level teaching.' Music Teacher, 'if you'd like to explore some new territory for your Lessons and Carols service, then SNOBC should be high on your Christmas shopping list!"
