A Christmas gift

Sunday afternoon at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church our choir had its Christmas concert. Present were two good friends of mine, excellent musicians both, flutist Charmaine Bacon and trumpeter Frank Burke, who both contributed so much to the music. Looking forward to doing it all again soon!

Charmaine also happens to be an organist. When, as I do, I improvised the harmony to the last verse of the last carol (O Come, All Ye Faithful), she commented on wanting a copy of that harmonization. Well, since it was improvised, no copy exists, clearly. Regardless, I approximated at closely as I could (without listening to the recording, which I now realize would have given be a better approximation) and instead of not posting anything before Christmas as I had planned, I'm posting this before Christmas.

As with everything else, a PDF is available on request!

Final verse for Adeste Fideles, with choral unison:

  2. I'll just do what I did with a previous piece and put it in a temporary Mediafire link. Here 'tis!
