An American Christmas Shaker tunes, spirituals, shape-note hymns, and folk songs Guitar - Sheet Music
An American Christmas includes carols from the very rich Shaker, spiritual, shape-note, and folk song traditions of the United States.

This is a collection of carols that will be appreciated by players of classical guitar and other styles as well, and that players can return to year after year as the Christmas season comes around.

When every Christmas book has about the same titles, this one goes off the beaten path and presents many lesser-known tunes. All Christian, but not all Christmas (Welcome Here! My Lord, What a Morning! Wondrous Love Simple Gifts). All written in standard tuning, chord names and lyrics provided. A definite book to add to your collection if you play sacred music at Christmas time. Only con: bound books don't want to stay open!
