Carol accompaniments for hire

Our library of carol orchestrations and Christmas music is one of the largest in the world and includes everyone's favourite carols. Each year we hire out hundreds of thousands of orchestral parts worldwide.

Most titles available on hire accompany carols from the collections Carols for Choirs 1, 2, and 3, 100 Carols for Choirs and The Shorter New Oxford Book of Carols: others accompany carols available in leaflet form.

The table of orchestrations (click the links on the left) lists each carol title which has an accompaniment for hire, with the name of the arranger, which OUP publication contains the compatible vocal parts, and full details of scoring. Click here to find out how to read the orchestration tables.

The Christmas season in the OUP Music Hire Library is particularly busy. We have, therefore, established some guidelines for hiring Christmas music, and we hope that these will help you to order the music that you require quickly and easily.
