Item Description
The lavishly illustrated like-new songbook from the Metropolitan Museum features 41 popular Christmas carols arranged for unison or simple four-part singing with or without piano accompaniment and includes works of art from the Museum's collection.
Compiled and arranged by Sir David Willcocks, Director Emeritus of King’s College Chapel Choir (Cambridge, England), this songbook includes such favorites as “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks,” “Silent Night,” and “Lo, How a Rose,” among others. Each song is complemented with a reproduction of a work of art from the Museum’s collection, such as an illuminated page from the Duke of Berry’s Belles Heures manuscript, an Albrecht Dürer woodcut, a detail from the Unicorn tapestries, as well as paintings by Fra Angelico, Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling, and François Boucher, and a variety of other Museum masterpieces. A helpful index of the carols’ first lines appears at the end of the book.
This stunning book was a hit when it came out in 1983, and remains a hit, and the winning bidder’s copy will be signed by Sir David Willcocks himself. In addition, the winning bidder will receive the two CD set of Carols for Christmas, featuring Sir Willcocks and the Royal College Music Chamber Choir performing traditional Christmas carols. This gently used CD set gets 5 stars from Amazon reviewers, and if new would retail for almost $200!
Item Special Note
The winning bidder's credit card will be charged an additional amount for UPS ground shipping.
