Advent and Christmas Albums
Advent and Christmas carol accompaniments for congregations and choirs
We have a range of options for Advent and Christmas. Our Ultimate Carol Set is the most comprehensive with 119 accompaniments of carols for congregations and choirs, providing accompaniments for the entire contents of Carols Ancient and Modern.
Alternatively, you can go for one or more of our individual Advent and Christmas discs, which you will find on this page. These accompaniments use arrangements from Carols for Choirs where possible, fine for congregations to sing, but including descants, and featuring six carols best suited for a choir to sing alone. The Advent disc contains all the advent carols from Carols Ancient and Modern - 21 in all.
Albums are available as CDs - or simply download whichever tracks or albums you want, while the Ultimate Carol Set is also available as MP3s on a disc or memory stick. There are no voices on these recordings, just a playover (in congregational carols) and the accompaniment.
