Angels' Carol is a choral work, composed by John Rutter in 1980 on his own lyrics, initially scored for a choir of sopranos or sopranos and altos accompanied by a harp. It was published by Oxford University Press, also in a version for choir SATB with harp or piano or orchestra.
It has been reported that Angels' Carol has come to be associated with Christmas festivities in the United Kingdom. The work is popular with children's choirs and community choirs.
