Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you

Here is my music for the Twelve Days of Christmas, from Christmas Eve to Epiphany - psalms, alleluias and acclamations from the Lectionary, in downloadable PDF and playable MP3 formats, for UK and Ireland Catholic congregations. You can use this music in any Year - A,B or C makes no difference. If you would like to know more, you can read my Gentle Guide to my Christmas music and think about which Christmas Carols you can sing in Church. Find out just how bleak was the midwinter, and what is the meaning of Christmas presents?

We also have settings for Australia and New Zealand, for Canada, and for the United States You are welcome to try these settings out at your Church, and join the people singing them all over the world.
