Book of Carols

Book of Carols is an expansive 6CD box set by the acclaimed Canadian composer Sarah Davachi, released in November 2026 via her own label, Late Music. Serving as a companion piece to her 2026 solo album The Will of Tongues, this collection gathers a variety of long-form commissioned works, including pieces for viola, telescopic aulos, Hammond organ, and tape. Davachi, known for her work in the lineages of minimalist pioneers like Éliane Radigue and La Monte Young, continues to explore the intersection of acoustic and electroacoustic sound design. The release highlights her signature approach to duration and tone, featuring collaborations and site-specific compositions commissioned by institutions such as The Broad Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. As a prolific figure in contemporary drone and ambient music, Davachi utilizes this box set to further document her rigorous, immersive practice of building secular, temple-like sonic environments.
