This collection of Christmas carols includes 17 iconic and lesser-known holiday songs arranged in standard notation and tablature for the intermediate fingerstyle guitarist. The compilation is unique in that its selections reflect the soundscape of the Precolonial Era of American history. While many of these carols originated in 17th and 18th century Europe, some are homegrown spirituals, and one is a Huron melody. In these lyrical arrangements, author/guitarist Raymond Gonzalez applies his gift for combining traditional harmonies with occasional harmonic and rhythmic twists, adding freshness and color to traditional music. All pieces are in standard or dropped-D tuning and are suitable for both steel and nylon-string guitar performance. Includes access to online audio of every tune as expertly recorded by the author.
