Added by douglas-brooks-davies, 26 May 2010 An arrangement of Adam's well-known Christmas song for
full 4-part choir and organ. This replaces the version
already uploaded by me on Freescores. The choir parts
are more adventurous than those in many arrangements,
while nevertheless basically following the original
accompaniment and harmonies (e.g., as found in Schirmer
edns of the 1870s and 1880s). The piece was originally
a solo song and apparently in C major. The more common
key of Eb appears with the Schirmer edns apparently. |
