This classic collection of extant musical settings of 15th-century English, macaronic and Latin carol texts was first revised by John Stevens himself, in the light of observations made by Manfred Bukofzer and Richard L. Greene. Its new, third edition, prepared by David Fallows, recognises the completeness and precision of the original volume, but with significant adjustments of the music to reflect greater textual accuracy, and a fuller understanding of the style resulting from six decades of further research.
