The Naxos Book of Carols is a collection of both the very old and the very new. Commissioned by the leading international classical music label, Naxos, these twenty-four arrangements of traditional and original carols tell the Christmas story – from the hope of Advent and the message of the angels, to the humble birth of the baby in Bethlehem and the coming of the King of kings.

The volume contains:
* twenty-four carols in four narrative sequences
* new arrangements for SATB choir, with minimum divisi
* accompanied and a cappella carols (with optional accompaniment)
* practical guidance on how the carols may be used by congregations, as well as by choirs with varied resources
* the original Naxos CD, performed by the award-winning choir Tonus Peregrinus and directed by the composer Antony Pitts

‘Pitts’s variants are original, sometimes even playful ... hard to resist’
The Sunday Times

‘most impressive and hugely satisfying. Pitts is an inventive and daring arranger, not afraid to clothe familiar melodies with challenging harmonies ... there are some real gems’
Birmingham Post
