The Eyam Book of Eighteenth Century Carols
Edited by Ian Russell, Frazer Jarvis and Sally Drage
This limited edition, in colour facsimile and in transcription, 32 remarkable carols, plus detailed notes. Foreword by Owen Roberts, Curator of Eyam Museum.
These carols have the potential to enrich the vigorous tradition of vernacular carol singing today ... their ear-catching melodies and beautifully crafted word-setting are coupled with an ornamental style and meter changes between verse and chorus that will delight and challenge contemparary performers. Doctor Julia C. Bishop
