Christmas is Coming Ref: D96

A collection of carols for Advent and Christmas composed, arranged and edited by Nicholas Temperley.

[PDF Sample]
Both a dedicated carol singer and an authority on the history of English music, Nicholas Temperley here offers a unique book of 37 carols dating from the fifteenth century to the present.

For over fifty years he has sung, edited and composed carols each Christmas, and in Christmas is Coming the fruit of his enthusiasm is combined with his wealth of knowledge to produce an outstanding and original new collection. As John Rutter observes in his Foreword, the book does not pointlessly duplicate what can be found in many other carol books, but has a personality and purpose of its own.

Green, Fred Pratt: THE LAST LAP Ref: B807

With his move to a Methodist Home for the Aged, Fred believed his writing days to be over. 'I knew that old age does nothing for the inspiration'. However, he was wrong, and this modest 'sequence in verse on the theme of old age' brings smiles and tears as Fred takes us into his new home and shares his, and the community's, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows in 53 'verses'; on themes as diverse as 'Sex in Old Age', Bonnets and Perms', and 'Going to Church in a Mini-bus'. All royalties from the sale of this book are being donated to the Methodist Home for the Aged.
