Christmas carol piano sheet music - recommendations

[verytired42]

Hello everyone. It’s the first year in a long time that we have a piano. I’d like to get some sheet music so we can sing carols together (quietly, when the neighbours are out) but it isn’t easy to see what’s good online. Not looking for very easy arrangements - just a book that covers the popular ones and sounds nice. Any recommendations gratefully received. Thanks so much.

Weirdly the book I use most is the Edward Heath carols, available on eBay. Has some lovely arrangements, especially Away in a manger”

If you want traditional stuff, Carols for Choirs has most of the famous ones. It was the main book we used in chapel choirs at Christmas, as far as I recall.

Carols for choirs, books 1-4 would probably be my go-to :)

8notes.com has got lots of free Christmas music, if that's any good to you.

The problem with carols for choirs I’ve found is that they are great to hold in a choir for singing but a pain to stay open on the piano music stand!

Kinda depends how advanced the piano player is?

I have the Really Easy Piano Christmas Carols book (which I'd say is around Grade 2 to 3 level) and there are some simple but lovely arrangements in it.

There's a consolidated '100 carols for choirs' from the same series which comes in a ring bound version, presumably for this very reason 😁

Ah, thank you, I need to buy that
