Carols for Choirs 5: Fifty Christmas Carols (SATB). To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carols for Choirs series, Oxford University Press has published a brand new collection, Carols for Choirs 5. The editorial duties have been passed on to the next generation of English organist-composers, Bob Chilcott and David Blackwell. The main strength of this new volume is its focus on new carols by living composers. Forty of the fifty carols included in the collection are newly composed in recent years. Many of these are new settings of familiar texts. The collection includes Matthew Owens’ setting of The Holly and the Ivy and two settings of There Is No Rose by Alan Smith and Howard Skempton. Andrew Simpson’s setting of I Saw Three Ships uses a curious new translation of the traditional text. Added to these are ten favourites, often with new arrangements or harmonizations. Among these are Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming, arranged by David Blackwell, and a rhythmic setting of Ding dong! Merrily on High by Mack Wilberg. Many of the carols are suitable for a cappella performance while orchestral parts are available for about half of the collection, making these pieces suitable for concert performance.
