Description
This selection of thirty traditional Christmas Carols for classical guitar includes some of the most beautiful carols from several countries, most of which are well known. There are also ten new compositions which, although they have no lyrics, are intended to create a festive flavour to complement the popular songs.
Written generally for the early to intermediate-level player to enjoy, there are a few songs that are a little more advanced but, in the main, they are simple arrangements.
If you would like to sing these carols, simple chord accompaniments and song lyrics are included. (Paul Coles)
