Edited by Bob Chilcott and Susan Knight Bob Chilcott has been involved with choral music all his life, first as a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King's College, Cambridge. Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King's Singers. His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people, have inspired him both to composer full-time and, through proactive workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.
Susan Knight is Founder and Artistic Director of the Newfoundland Symphony Youth Choir and Festival 500. She is active as a guest conductor, adjudicator, lecturer,
keynote speaker, and advocate, and has served in executive positions within provincial and national music and educational organizations.Bob Chilcott's website

"There is a huge amount of variety here, and some wonderful arrangements and new carols." - Leah Perona-Wright, Church Music Quarterly December 05 "One of the most interesting and unusual new publicatons for the Christmas period is World Carols for Choirs . . . Certainly the editors have done a remarkable job in unearthing suitable authors from around the world. Many, if not nearly all the composers will be unfamiliar names to most who purchase this volume . . . Surprises are frequent in this adventurous collection. One is that although all the contributions are contemporary, there is little or nothing included that reflects anything resembling a modernist approach to compositon. That has not precluded, however, the inclusion of
some highly idiomatic music . . . In all, this is a publication that offers a tantalising window onto some very different musical worlds. No publisher over the last 30 years has done more to promote and enrich our understanding of music for the Christmas season than OUP, and with this voume they have provided yet another rich seam to explore." - Matthew Greenall, The Singer Dec 05 "Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it brings. . . And occasionally in the music publishing world it brings good cheer and sometimes, as with this book of carols, very good cheer. There is nothing 'old hat' here in this marvellous collection of carols from various cultures around the world . . . Besides Europe, we have carols from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Dominican Republic, Ghana, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, USA and Venezuela. I list these countries to illustrate the breadth of this collection. Words are in their original language, with translations and there is an excellent pronunciation guide as well as valuable notes on each carol." - Zone Magazine Oct 05
