for SATB accompanied and unaccompanied This wonderful anthology of ten carols by Alan Bullard includes new material written specially for the collection as well as favourites from the Oxford catalogue, some of which are presented for the first time with SATB scoring. From the ethereal 'And all the stars looked down' to the upbeat 'Glory to the Christ Child', Alan Bullard Carols showcases an attractive and varied selection of Christmas works that will appeal to all mixed-voice choirs. Orchestral material is available on hire for each of the accompanied pieces.
Alan Bullard (b.1947)
"Above all, though, Bullard appears to have drawn his chief source of inspiration from the eloquent simplicity of folk-carols. This publication stands as an ideal appendix to OUP's ubiquitous 100 Carols for Choirs; certainly, choirs in possession of both will hold a repertoire advantage over those with access only to the older volume." - Choir & Organ, November 2009
