The St Osyth Carol Book
Anthony Bailey
For all my friends at St Peter and St Paul's Church,
St Osyth, and my family.
6 new settings of traditional texts
These pieces were written over the past 6 years. Away in a Manger was written
for our son Thomas's first Christmas, and when our baby daughter Martha came along I wrote Lullay My Child.
It has now become a little custom that I write a new item each Christmas for the choir of St Osyth Church.
Performance note.
I have arranged these for SA Men. This is flexible and most of the Carols have parts where the
men are optional. Silent Night starts with men only but this could easily be replaced by the sopranos.
Use the best combination for your choir.
I have also made many arrangements of these items. I have made parts for any combination of instruments from string quartet to Small orchestra,
and even Single Reed Choir.
Please contact me on [email protected] or visit www.anthonyjohnbailey.com
for more information or to request a set of parts.
