Vaughan Williams' setting of three traditional English carols, The Truth sent from Above, Come All You Worthy Gentlemen, and On Christmas Night all Christians Sing was composed in 1912. The premiere was given under the composer's direction on September 12 of that year at the Three Choirs Festival in Hereford Cathedral. This new edition of the vocal score by Richard Sargeant has been prepared with chorus' needs in mind. The layout is vastly improved over that of the original 1912 vocal score, with the vocal staves at full size while the piano reduction is produced in smaller type. It is printed in a convenient, easy to hold size which fits comfortably in any choir folder.
