Rocherolle's first published collection of Christmas pieces. It is a long-selling collection that has continued to be re-published for over 40 years since its initial release. Containing 33 pieces in total, it is a standard album covering the main Christmas carols. It is also useful as a dictionary when looking up titles from melodies. The inclusion of lyrics (in English) at the beginning of each piece suggests its intended use for group carol singing with piano accompaniment. Of course, it is also perfectly enjoyable to play on the piano without vocals. Compared to the various Christmas collections he composed in later years, its characteristics include preserving the original form of the pieces as much as possible, and clearly presenting the melody line to serve as a guide when sung. Nevertheless, subtle refinements in harmony, counter-melodies, and transitional passages create a fresh effect. This is likely why it is appreciated by pianists, singers, and listeners alike. Among Rocherolle's Christmas collections, the difficulty level is relatively high (approximately Czerny 30).
