Here are seven utterly delightful Christmas carols from Poland, arranged for SATB choir with optional keyboard. All are offered in my own verse translations, which keep as near as possible to the original Polish; the musical arrangements are also mine. The carols are: Into midnight's stillness; Oh what Babe lies crying; No soft cradle; Little Jesus is crying; As the lovely Maiden; O tiny Baby (Oj maluski); Lullaby, Jesus (Lulajze Jezuniu). I have no Polish title for No soft cradle: this is a carol I can no longer trace, which I heard some 50 years ago and which I have reconstructed from memory. I think the melody is about right, and I believe the words to be correct in their overall meaning. Do sing some at least of these: they are real treasures. Some of the carols have been posted separately; in the present form, as a sequence, they offer a moving and heart-warming prelude to Christmas for church or concert performance.
