FROM THE LIBRARY OF REV. LOUIS FITZGERALD BENSON. D. D. BEQUEATHED BY HIM TO THE LIBRARY OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY CHRISTMAS CAROLS Carols . Old and Carols New. Boston : The Parish Choir. $5.00. This handsome book contains 751 carols for use at Christmas, New Year, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, Whitsuntide, Trinity, Harvest, Children's Day, and Flower Ser- vices, collected from many sources and ar- ranged by the Rev. Charles L. Hutchins, D.D. Ill his preface the editor says that "the excuse, if any be needed, for the pub- lication of this collection of carols, is a double one : viz., the happy and widely pre- vailing return in recent years to the old custom of carol singing, and the desire on the part of the compiler to further this custom by placing within the reach of those who engage in it, an abundance of good material. The carols have been drawn from ancient and modern sources, with discrimination and good musical judgnent. The ancient carols have been faithfully reproduced with due reverence for their traditional form. Some of them have been harmonized in modern style but the greater number retain their ancient form. If one might select a model carol, with fine harmonization, in dulci jiibilo. by R. L. De Pearsall, would seem to conunand the premier place. It is a gem, and it should be sung in every church at Christmastide. The number of carols se- lected from French sources is large. All are deserving of a hearing and many of them should become popular, for they are real carols. The English school is well rep- resented. All the choice examples of that nation, both ancient and modern, will be found in the book; in fact the bulk of the work is taken from English authors and composers. Modern .Ainerican carols are drawn upon to a large extent, good ex- amples by Custance, Cutler, Dr. Hodges (15 examples), Muhlenberg, Horatio Parker, De Koven, Roper and Tuckerman being included. The German school is adequately represented. In addition to the carols there is a fine Bibliography of both printed and manuscript collections, the latter including the fine collection in the British Museum; indices of authors, sources, and composeri, and illustrations of the San Sisto Madonna and other reproductions. The book may be used as a reference work, or as a prac- tical one for choirs, as the several numbers may be obtained separately. It should be in the lilirary of every lover of carols.

CHARLES L. HUTCHINS, D. D. Editor of the "Church Hyinnal," the "Church Psalter," the "Chant and Service Book,' the "Pointed Prayer Book," the "Parish Choir," etc. BOSTON THE PARISH CHOIR Edition Limited To looo Copies This Copy l3 Ndmbes "^^^^^-t^^:^ ^i^ y^^^^^-C^ Copyright, 1916, CHARLES L. HUTCHINS PREFACE The excuse, if any be needed, for the publication of this collection of carols, is a double one: viz., the happy and widely prevailing return in recent years to the old custom of carol singing, and the desire on the part of the compiler to further this custom by placing within the reach of those who engage in it, an abundance of good material. Some of the carols presented in this volume already have appeared in the " Parish Choir," but none are here reprinted which have not, in at least one circle, attained some degree of popularity. For the convenience of those who are accustomed to the use of the carols in the leaflet form in which they have been published, they retain the same numbering in this collection. It is not the compiler's purpose to dwell upon the antiquity, the history, and the beauty of the custom of carol singing as well at Easter and other seasons of the Christian Year as in connection with the Christmas Festival. There is an abundance of literature on the subject as may be seen in the list of publications to be found in the latter part of this volume. The number of Christmas carols in this collection largely exceeds those for any other season, because the use of carols at Christmas time is more general than at other times. And in sending forth this volume the compiler would adopt the words of John Audley, the blind and deaf chaplain of Haughmond Abbey, about the year 1426 — " I pray you sirs, both more and less, Sing these carols in Christemas." Concord, Massachusetts, October, 1916.

They turn from the inn, from its warmth and its plenty, To rest for the night with the ass - es and kine. Oh, had the host known, though the inn was o'er crowded, Who sought in his hostel for shelter and rest, The fairest guest chamber had been for the strangers, And he had provided for them of his best ! 4 For in the rude stable, where stars were all shining, The Ix)rd of tlie Angels took up His abode, Th« Babe in the manner so calmly reposing, Was Israel's Messiah, the dear "Son of God. We join with the Angels in giving God glory; From Christmas to Christmas tiie story repeat How Jesus was laid a fair Babe in the manger. And hasten with shepherds to kneel at His Feet. 6 All fflorj', all glory to God in the highest! All clorj- to Jesus for His lowly birth! With hearts full of joy we re-echo with gladness. Good will be to men, and sweet peace upon earth. (H^t^vint ttie ILoxXi i& risen agafn. Carol 72. Rev. J. S.
