Critics Review
‘The major new resource this Christmas is the long-awaited paperback edition of The New Oxford Book of Carols … This is far more than just another carol book … In addition to OUP’s always superb musical typography, there are comprehensive and well-researched footnotes and the extensive introduction includes a fascinating potted overview of the development of the carol genre in its social setting … This is not only an elegant tome but a truly indispensable resource for all who take a serious and cerebral interest in this fascinating aspect of a continually developing choral tradition.’ Church of England Newspaper, 6 November 98
