The Apple Tree: Christmas music from The Cambridge… by David Holbrook

Now that my family has THREE copies of this book - in three different countries -, I'll stop collecting it and let someone else have some. It really is one of the best collections of Christmas music to be found, with many unusual and lovely carols like Dancing Day and few if any of the same old standards. Suitable for serious musicians, medievalists, and eccentrics.
