Summary of This Score
"100 Carols For Choirs" has established itself as a reference for building, enriching, and renewing a choir's Christmas repertoire. Compiled by David Willcocks and John Rutter, this collection brings together traditional songs and more recent pieces, with an organization that allows easy navigation between different styles and eras.
Designed for SATB choir with piano, it emphasizes comfortable reading and immediate rehearsal efficiency: balanced vocal lines, proven harmonizations, and accompaniments crafted to support intonation, pulse, and expression. It is a particularly relevant resource for preparing a Christmas mass, an end-of-year concert, or a religious music program, whether directing a parish choir, a boy choir, or a concert ensemble.
Thanks to the richness of its content and its anthology format, this score becomes a true "library staple": it is revisited season after season to build coherent sets, vary atmospheres (solemn, festive, meditative), and find carols suited to the level and character of each choir.
