In this collection we have gathered fifty Christmas Carols from around the world carefully arranging them for Voice and Piano. Each piano accompaniment is playable by a competent pianist, and there are additional optional harmonies added to the vocal part for choral use if desired. Every country puts its own unique cultural stamp on celebrating the holiday season and this volume can be used to explore those celebrations as part of a wider exploration of the World of Christmas. To this end we have included interesting Christmas related facts, a translation of the text, and both versions where they exist, so each Carol can be easily sung and understood, or compared. Ideal for use in the classroom, or by choirs, and provides wonderful presentational opportunities for themed Christmas concerts.

This CD is available in an English version: Carus 83.027. When the summer heat shimmers above the vastness of the Australian bushland, when sleigh bells ring joyfully through the snow covered forest of Estonia, when people in Mexico portray the pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph, and families in Denmark dance around the Christmas tree, then it is Christmas time, then the whole world celebrates and sings. The Athesinus Consort Berlin, conducted by Klaus-Martin Bresgott, has recorded a selection of the most beautiful Christmas carols from all over the world exclusively for this CD collection. The CD contains carols from all the continents, from Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Latvia, from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland, from France, Spain, Italy, England and the Netherlands as well as Guinea, Korea, Australia, Canada and Venezuela. With this recording the prize-winning Liederprojekt, promoting singing with children, is being continued.
