Description

The Eyam Book of Eighteenth-Century Carols

Edited by Ian Russell, Frazer Jarvis, and Sally Drage

This limited edition, in full colour facsimile and in transcription, contains 32 remarkable carols, plus detailed notes, with a foreword by Owen Roberts, Curator of Eyam Museum.

“These carols have the potential to enrich the vigorous tradition of vernacular carol singing today … their ear-catching melodies and beautifully crafted word-setting are coupled with an ornamental style and meter changes between verse and chorus that will delight and challenge contemporary performers.” Dr Julia C. Bishop
