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 thewords by Henrey Ramsden Bramley. Just before Christmas 2010, I had this collection printed as abook through 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 di�erent 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 brie�y 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 takemany days of transcribing and proofreading, and it did not seem necessary at the time.

I had this collection ready (and in its third edition, the �rst edition having been merely a dra�, andthe second edition lacking Gaudete) in time for Christmas 2011, but a�er giving a few away asChristmas gi�s, I decided that the book in its current form was not ideal, and worthwhileimprovements could be made by making new engravings of all the music. �us, I have taken thetrouble of transcribing everything into Lilypond for this new edition. In this way, I have also been ableto add nearly 60 more songs to the collection, including a handful of Advent hymns and two songs,Ring Out Wild Bells and Auld Lang Syne, in celebration of the new year, which always begins a weeka�er Christmas. To make the book more a�ordable, I have published it through CreateSpace insteadof Lulu, and in hopes that others may also �nd it useful, I have made it available for purchase onAmazon.com, where it should be easier to �nd.

In selecting the songs, I have tried to include all the public domain carols that are well-known, as wellas those which I have found appealing. Some songs I sought out speci�cally, and others I had neverheard before �nding them in older collections while preparing the present volume, having lookedthrough several such books, including �e Cowley Carol Book (1919), �e Cambridge Carol Book (1924),the aforementioned Christmas Carols, New and Old (1871), as well as the several Christmas carols foundin Favorite Songs and Hymns for School and Home (1899). In a few cases I have slightly edited the musicfrom the source arrangement, and in rarer cases I have slightly modi�ed the text. In perhaps the rarestof cases, 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 a�er the middle of the book consisting entirelyof carols of relative obscurity. �is 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 di�culty involved in continually glancing back and forth between the music andthe words. �us, 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 �ndthe source texts for a few of them. �ere are also a few foreign-language carols for which I have notincluded any English translation.

�ou art my love and dear,

How shall I nurse �ee to �y mind,

And make �ee glad of cheer?

And for all this

�ough I be laid in stall,

Both lords and dukes shall worship Me,

And so shall monarchs all:

Ye shall well see

Shall come on the twel�h day:

�en let Me rest

Upon thy breast,

And sing by by, lullay.”

7. “My Mother dear, when time it be,

�en take Me up alo�,

And set Me up upon thy knee,

And handle Me full so�;

And in thy arm,

�ou wilt Me warm,

And keep Me night and day:

And if I weep,

And may not sleep,

�ou sing by by, lullay.”
