The Oxford Book of Descants is a definitive collection of 100 descants to well-known hymns, carols, and worship songs. It includes descants by a wide range of composers such as David Willcocks, John Rutter, Malcolm Archer, and Paul Leddington Wright, as well as celebrated examples from church composers of the last century. Published in both full music and melody editions, this is a fully practical collection, with selected descants presented in different keys and with
alternative words to match most popular hymnals. With a superb range of descants, ably written and sympathetic to the style and harmony of the original tune, The Oxford Book of Descants is an excellent resource that will be welcomed by all choirs and church musicians and which will enhance hymn singing at church
services throughout the year.
