prefaceSeveral years ago, I found an old collection of Christmas carols on the Internet, originally published in thelate 1800s, called Christmas Carols, New and Old, the music edited by Sir John Stainer and the words byHenrey Ramsden Bramley. Just before Christmas 2010, I had this collection printed as a book throughLulu.com, and I enjoyed some of its more obscure carols enough that I thought I might combine them into asingle volume containing Christmas carols from several different sources. So in early 2011, I set aboutcreating such a book by simply taking pages from several old collections of Christmas music and combiningthem into a single volume. I thought briefly of taking the trouble of making new engravings of all the music,but it seemed an enormous task: though I had used a program called Lilypond to engrave music in the past,the amount of music I wanted to include would take many days of transcribing and proofreading, and it didnot seem necessary at the time.

I had this collection ready (and in its third edition, the first edition having been merely a dra�, and thesecond edition lacking Gaudete) in time for Christmas 2011, but a�er giving a few away as Christmas gi�s, Idecided that the book in its current form was not ideal, and worthwhile improvements could be made bymaking new engravings of all the music. �us, I have taken the trouble of transcribing everything intoLilypond for this new edition. In this way, I have also been able to add nearly 60 more songs to thecollection, including a handful of Advent hymns and two songs, Ring Out Wild Bells and Auld Lang Syne, incelebration of the new year, which always begins a week a�er Christmas. To make the book more affordable,I have published it through CreateSpace instead of Lulu, and in hopes that others may also find it useful, Ihave made it available for purchase on Amazon.com, where it should be easier to find.

In selecting the songs, I have tried to include all the public domain carols that are well-known, as well asthose which I have found appealing. Some songs I sought out specifically, and others I had never heardbefore finding them in older collections while preparing the present volume, having looked through severalsuch books, including �e Cowley Carol Book (1919), �e Cambridge Carol Book (1924), the aforementionedChristmas Carols, New and Old (1871), as well as the several Christmas carols found in Favorite Songs andHymns for School and Home (1899). In a few cases I have slightly edited the music from the sourcearrangement, and in rarer cases I have slightly modified the text. In perhaps the rarest of cases, I haveanonymously arranged a handful of the songs myself.

In ordering the songs, I have attempted to interleave the more well-known songs with those tending furthertoward obscurity. However, the obscure carols seemed to outnumber those I expect to be well-known, whichled to a section beginning not long a�er the middle of the book consisting entirely of carols of relativeobscurity. �is is followed by a handful of carols of foreign origin, which are followed by a few more carolsand part songs. However, these sections are rather nebulous and songs may occasionally seem out of placewithin the book.

In laying out the music, I have tried to avoid setting lyrics for additional verses too far below the music itself,because of the difficulty involved in continually glancing back and forth between the music and the words.�us, some songs have the exact same music printed several times, sometimes with a chorus also doubled,though sometimes the chorus is given only once even when the verses are doubled.

In a few cases I have included the original foreign-language words as well as an English translation, but inother cases this was impossible, for Bramley and Stainer, while noting which texts were translations, werenot so thoughtful as to include the names of the original texts, and I have only been able to find the sourcetexts for a few of them. �ere are also a few foreign-language carols for which I have not included anyEnglish translation.

6. “Now tell me, sweetest Lord, I pray, �ou art my love and dear,How shall I nurse �ee to �y mind, And make �ee glad of cheer? For all �y will I would fulfil, I need no more to say; And for all this I will �ee kiss, And sing by by, lullay,”

7. “My Mother dear, when time it be, �en take Me up alo�,And set Me up upon thy knee, And handle Me full so�; And in thy arm, �ou wilt Me warm, And keep Me night and day: And if I weep, And may not sleep, �ou sing by by, lullay.”
