And in the Christmas Department

  1. Carols for Choirs

  4. Carol our Christmas

  5. The Christmas Source

  6. The Oxford Book of Carols

  7. Bethlehem Carol Sheet full music book (Don't ask which one, I can't remember!!)


It can be disputed I don't need all the Mission Praises, but they did mess around with the music arrangements from the originals to the Combined editions, and the Combined editions are just too big for sensible use!

It could also be disputed that I don't need the 100 Hymns and More 100 Hymns for Today, as they are in the Ancient and Modern New Standard (Which is an abridged version of Ancient and Modern Revised, + the two 100 Hymns supplements. Common Praise is a completely new book...) but, keys have been altered... and I like to keep them all!!!!!!!!
