General Information A series of Carol collections published by the Oxford University Press between 1961 and 2005, comprising:
Carols for Choirs 1
Carols for Choirs 2
Carols for Choirs 3
Carols for Choirs 4
100 Carols For Choirs
World Carols for Choirs
The series concept was extended by the publication of more books in the ... for Choirs Collection
Anthems For Choirs
Advent for Choirs
Epiphany to All Saints for Choirs
Ash Wednesday to Easter for Choirs
Content As the Carols for Choirs pages are re-formatted, their content will be added to this section, to form a single, sortable list.
The listing for CfC2 should be treated with caution at the moment, as it is incomplete work-in-progress, placed here to demonstrate the working of the merged sortable table.
