Willcocks and Rutter are transcendant:
This book is a fabulous collection of gorgeous, soaring arrangments of traditional carols, as well as beautiful utter originals. Listening to a good choir perform them is like hearing angelic choirs, and participating in their performance is like an out of body experience. If you have a treble choir, GET THIS BOOK.
