OUP's choral publishing is admired worldwide and includes an impressive collection of anthologies for every type of choir. These volumes include the vital standard repertoire plus less well-known
works, and have become indispensible to choral singers worldwide. 29 carols for SSA accompanied and unaccompanied
Like the innovative SATB book of World Carols for Choirs this upper-voice
collection contains original pieces and arrangements from all over the world. In a huge array of styles, there's music here to suit all adult or youth upper-voice choirs. The volume includes carols by
popular composers and little-known compositions. Each piece may be sung in its original language or in English, and pronunciation guides are provided for all non-English texts. A helpful introduction
includes programme notes for all pieces.

- 'Volumes such as this fill a valuable gap in the market. The international dimension also makes of them a labour of love for the ediitng team. Twenty-nine composers from 27 countries, each
writing a carol in his or her own language (and I counted 20 different languages!) with most carols needing their own alternative text in English and a phonetic pronunciatin guide - it hardly bears
thinking of! Such projects do not seem to daunt the team at OUP, however . . . However, there is also music reflective of American spirituals, African praise songs and Latin rhythms, to name just a
few of the world traditions that should make of this volume a stimulating source book for choir directors.' -Matthew Greenall, The Singer Oct 06
- 'There are 29 pieces, and many of them are
very beautiful. It will be a happy day when a wide international selection of repertoire is regularly available for choirs to try, and initiatives like these are, I hope, leading the way.' -Paul
Ayres, Sheet Music Review Sept 06
- 'It's wonderful, too, to be able to access the wealth of material from the ex-East European countries, with delightful arrangements from Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Poland and Slovenia. The UK isn't forgotten - Bob Chilcott offers his own setting of Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day - another must.' -Malcolm Goldring, Music Teacher March 06
