prefaceSeveral years ago, I found an old collection of Christmas carols on the Internet, originally published inthe late 1800s, called Christmas Carols, New and Old, the music edited by Sir John Stainer and the wordsby Henrey Ramsden Bramley. Just before Christmas 2010, I had this collection printed as a bookthrough Lulu.com, and I enjoyed some of its more obscure carols enough that I thought I mightcombine them into a single volume containing Christmas carols from several different sources. So inearly 2011, I set about creating such a book by simply taking pages from several old collections ofChristmas music and combining them into a single volume. I thought briefly of taking the trouble ofmaking new engravings of all the music, but it seemed an enormous task: though I had used a programcalled Lilypond to engrave music in the past, the amount of music I wanted to include would take manydays of transcribing and proofreading, and it did not seem necessary at the time.

I had this collection ready (and in its third edition, the first edition having been merely a draft, and thesecond edition lacking Gaudete) in time for Christmas 2011, but after giving a few away as Christmasgifts, I decided that the book in its current form was not ideal, and worthwhile improvements could bemade by making new engravings of all the music. Thus, I have taken the trouble of transcribingeverything into Lilypond for this new edition. In this way, I have also been able to add nearly 60 moresongs to the collection, including a handful of Advent hymns and two songs, Ring Out Wild Bells andAuld Lang Syne, in celebration of the new year, which always begins a week after Christmas. To makethe book more affordable, I have published it through CreateSpace instead of Lulu, and in hopes thatothers may also find it useful, I have made it available for purchase on Amazon.com, where it should beeasier to find.

In selecting the songs, I have tried to include all the public domain carols that are well-known, as well asthose which I have found appealing. Some songs I sought out specifically, and others I had never heardbefore finding them in older collections while preparing the present volume, having looked throughseveral such books, including The Cowley Carol Book (1919), The Cambridge Carol Book (1924), theaforementioned Christmas Carols, New and Old (1871), as well as the several Christmas carols found inFavorite Songs and Hymns for School and Home (1899). In a few cases I have slightly edited the music fromthe source arrangement, and in rarer cases I have slightly modified the text. In perhaps the rarest ofcases, I have anonymously arranged a handful of the songs myself.

In ordering the songs, I have attempted to interleave the more well-known songs with those tendingfurther toward obscurity. However, the obscure carols seemed to outnumber those I expect to bewell-known, which led to a section beginning not long after the middle of the book consisting entirelyof carols of relative obscurity. This is followed by a handful of carols of foreign origin, which arefollowed by a few more carols and part songs. However, these sections are rather nebulous and songsmay occasionally seem out of place within the book.

In laying out the music, I have tried to avoid setting lyrics for additional verses too far below the musicitself, because of the difficulty involved in continually glancing back and forth between the music andthe words. Thus, some songs have the exact same music printed several times, sometimes with a chorusalso doubled, though sometimes the chorus is given only once even when the verses are doubled.

In a few cases I have included the original foreign-language words as well as an English translation, butin other cases this was impossible, for Bramley and Stainer, while noting which texts were translations,were not so thoughtful as to include the names of the original texts, and I have only been able to find thesource texts for a few of them. There are also a few foreign-language carols for which I have notincluded any English translation.

5. “My Mother Mary, thine I be,

Though I be laid in stall,

Both lords and dukes shall worship Me,

And so shall monarchs all:

Ye shall well see

That princes three,

Shall come on the twelfth day:

Then let Me rest

Upon thy breast,

And sing by by, lullay.”

6. “Now tell me, sweetest Lord, I pray,

Thou art my love and dear,

How shall I nurse Thee to Thy mind,

And make Thee glad of cheer?

For all Thy will

I would fulfil,

I need no more to say;

And for all this

I will Thee kiss,

And sing by by, lullay,”

7. “My Mother dear, when time it be,

Then take Me up aloft,

And set Me up upon thy knee,

And handle Me full soft;

And in thy arm,

Thou wilt Me warm,

And keep Me night and day:

And if I weep,

And may not sleep,

Thou sing by by, lullay.”
