The Rest of the Carols

In 2004, I made a CD titled Carols Galore – A Piano Tribute to the Yuletide Season, which contained my brief piano choruses of 58 glorious Christmas carols. I felt then, and still do, that these simple but elegant melodies can be appreciated when free of the emotional words and played without adornment.

             I entered a dozen of the best-known carols from the album into the blog in December 2023; and I followed that up by entering two dozen familiar carols into the blog in December 2024. I’m now entering the remaining 22 carols from the album into the blog. You’ll undoubtedly recognize many of them, although perhaps not know their names, and a few may be a new but pleasant experience for you.

             Here are the names of the carols in the order you will hear them.

 1.     Angels From the Realms of Glory
