A useful set of carols for use in schools. Written for SSA choir and piano (no. 2 requires percussion and flute), these carols have a distinct European flavor well worth sampling. They also have excellent English translations by John Neaum. C'tait la veille de Nol; Een kind geboren in Bethlehem; Er is een kindetje geboren; Bonjour Voisine.

These three folksongs have been beautifully arranged for men's voices by one of Ireland's most revered contemporary composer/arrangers. The purity of the melody is always allowed to show through in his subtle and sensitive arrangements. Includes: Down by the Salley Gardens, The Wild Hills of Clare, The Palatine's Daughter.
