Publisher's Synopsis
Celebrate the joy of Christmas with this beautiful collection of traditional and modern carols and sheet music, illustrated with some of the finest paintings from the National Gallery, London. A detail from Jan Breughel the Elder’s The Adoration of the Kings brings warmth and life to "Once in Royal David’s City." Fra Angelica's glorious angels illustrate "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Boticelli’s remarkable Mystic Nativity illuminates "O Come, All Ye Faithful." Piero della Francesca, Nicolas Poussin, and Hendrick Avercamp are among the many other artists whose work accompanies the carols, which have been arranged by Barrie Carson Turner for easy playing on piano, recorder, or guitar, and are all in traditional singing keys. A treasure for carol singers and art lovers young and old, now and for Christmases to come.
