This book came out just in time for the holiday season!!! It's a great little book that provides the words, chords, and melodies to 72 of the best carols of the holidays! It is going to work perfectly when I take a group from my church to a local nursing home to go caroling through the halls. I highly recommend this book...it has a little something for everyone!
I bought this book without reading the description carefully. I thought the book included music. It does not. But it does a fine job as far as giving the lyrics for many Christmas carols.
This compact book is packed full of Christmas carols. There are traditional religious songs and fun favorites like Frosty the Snowman and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Each song has the lyrics, melody and chords, so you can also use this as a seasonal fake book. If you aren't used to playing from a fake book, you should know that the songs only have the melody (right hand) and chord markings, not full sheet music.If you plan on caroling with a group, you would probably need more than one book.
My daughter was looking for a book of Christmas carols, mostly the original ones, and it was slim pickings in the stores, so I was delighted to find this one. It has all the old standards that she was interested in.
Pretty good songbook for the price. However, if you are a beginner or have no experience or knowledge of how music is written and what all the symbols means, it is difficult to follow the verses and refrains. Not a good songbook for the casual singer. There are 80 songs, many with multiple verses. A good buy for the price.
For some years I have been looking for a book with OLD traditional Christmas Carolls. My largish family always sat around the tree on Christmas Eve, singing all the verses of all the old songs. Now it is difficult to find anyone under age 50 who knows more than one verse. This book is for my grandchildren and their children, to help carry on a wonderful family tradition. Some of the songs are so old that I have never heard them; something new to learn. The book is nicely composed and small enough to easily be held in your hands, but the print is large enough to be easy to read.
Really love this book! I can't play the piano very well, but I am learning. And these songs are wonderful .... all the timeless Christmas carols I've sang since I was a child. And they are written in very simple musical format, which makes it easy for people like me who can't play well yet, and just want the melody, words and chords .... no bass clef. I only play when I am by myself, and this makes Christmas music very fun. Thank you so much!
This is a great little book that has a lot of carols that are familiar to everyone. At Christmas we go caroling and actually have a couple of people who can sing and know the words. This book helps the rest of us who don't sing well and have poor memories...or you can stay home and just sing with you families so you don't torture the entire neighborhood.
