Carol of the Bells was written in 1914 by Mykola Leontovych based on a traditional Ukranian melody. Both this and Un Jour Diu se Resolut are arranged by Alan Rinehart.

The composition of Greensleeves has been ascribed to Henry VIII and exists in many arrangements from a simple harmonization for the lute to large orchestral and choral productions, especially when done as the Carol “What Child is This?” This sophisticated solo version was composed by the Elizabethan lutenist Francis Cutting.

Un jour Dieu se résolut is a keyboard work written by the French Baroque composer Michel Corrette (1707-1795) as part of a larger collection of original Christmas music for keyboard published in 1741.

Villancico de Navidad — almost literally ‘Christmas Carol’ — is an original work for guitar by the great Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustin Barrios (1885-1944).
