The Carolers Handbook provides a fresh, new approach to the standard carols we have come to associate with the holiday season. Each a cappella choral setting has been designed to enhance the inherent characteristics of the original carol, no two carols have been approached the same way. This adds a vitality and versatility to this handbook seldom found in collections of this type, while, in the meantime, providing the choral director with a dynamic and versatile tool for use in his or her holiday planning. Includes program notes on staging.
