{Traditional} - 25 Christmas Carol Favorites for 4-Part Brass Ensemble
Angels we have heard on high
Away in a manger
Bring a torch, jeanette isabella
Coventry carol
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
First Noel
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Good king wenceslas
Good christian men, rejoice
Hark the herald angels sing
Holly and the ivy
I saw three ships come sailing in



It came upon a midnight clear
Joy to the world
Lo how a rose e’er blooming
O come all ye faithful
O little town of bethlehem
O come, o come, emmanuel
Silent night
Sussex carol
Wassail song
We wish you a merry christmas
We three kings of orient are
What Child is this
While shepherds watched their herds at night
