World Carols for Choirs (Upper Voices) - 29 carols for SSA

OUP's choral publishing is admired worldwide and includes an impressive collection of anthologies for every type of choir. These volumes include all the vital standard repertoire plus less well-known works and have become indispensible to singers worldwide.

29 carols for SSA accompanied and unaccompanied
Like the innovative SATB book of World Carols for Choirs this upper-voice collection contains original pieces and arrangements from all over the world. In a huge array of styles, there's music here to suit all adult or youth upper-voice choirs. The volume includes carols by popular composers and little-known compositions. Each piece may be sung in its original language or in English, and pronunciation guides are provided for all non-English texts. A helpful introduction includes programme notes for all pieces.
