As I have previously posted, I am hoping to get some people carol singing round my neighbourhood (and I hope the person to whom I handed the pdf of the newsletter with the request in hurries up and gets back to me, printed out, so people know about it), and have run up against a problem.
Loads of carols I know were published in books by A&C Black. I have bought up-to-date copies of two, and hopefully a third, out-of-print at the publishers, but apparently in stock at Boosey. I have had sight of that one at school.
One carol I like, "Star in the South" originally arranged by Malcolm Sargeant turns out not to be in any of them. I've been helped to find a copy of his sheet music, so I have it, but what we used wasn't sheet music. I can see a page of the book in my mind, and I'm wondering what other carols are in that book, and what the book was. Has anyone seen this carol in a book, and can identify it for me? (It has become a bit of an obsession,) All the originals from the main part of school have disappeared, and, apparently, and oddly, no-one is using them at the moment.
