Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Thanx Michael!

I've been playing 3 hours of Christmas music at a Salvation Army kettle and need more than tunes. I've been figuring out tunes on the spot just because I need as much textile equally possible to fill fourth dimension, or I stop up doing the aforementioned carols over & over.

This is perfect!

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Oh Come up Grand Long Expected Jesus is an Appearance hymn, and so you can play that one even before the 25th.
Thank you for sharing this great resource.

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Cheers, Michael! Possibly there is something Christmas-Eve-service worthy here? I am looking for something to play. Perhaps a medley; a few you lot've bundled appear to be in F....

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Michael; thank for this great resource!
The circles around some notes in the tabs indicates tremolo, right? I assume this considering they are all either half or whole notes.
Thanks over again.

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

I recall that merely helps you know information technology is a half note or whole note (presence of line = half notation) Kinda like the tails on the line point a eighth note. See Angels Nosotros Have Heard on High p 4. It has dotted quarter, quarter, eighth, one-half and whole notes.

Thank you lot! this is smashing, just I know someone said to play this in the cardinal of g, but what is the other key and how do you find out what fundamental when there are no chords upwards above...I am a newby to the mandolin...

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Hey, ELSOL102 - You're welcome!

~~~

Hey, Mandoviol - In some traditions, the Christmas carols are non played before December 25. Every bit Darren Bailey noted (mail service #xv above) "Come One thousand Long Expected Jesus" is an Appearance hymn, then if your service is "no carols yet", that 1 would work well. I have played late Christmas Eve services where nosotros played Advent hymns until midnight and so the Christmas music begins!

In this collection, the commencement (or only) key is the primal in the United Methodist Hymnal (1989). If you lot're playing with a keyboard player and they have a hymnal, endeavour the first key.

+1 for the Lovecraft reference.

~~~

Hey, Ed & Jamie -

The tab circles do indeed correspond to half notes (with stems) or whole notes (without stems). I prefer rhythmic notation in tab so I set up my Finale templates that mode. Tremolo is optional - durations are non!

~~~

Hey, sparrowhawk -

Here's a useful trick: virtually of the time the terminal notation of the vocal is the primal. The just song in this collection where this trick doesn't work is "The First Noel", which ends on the F# but is in the fundamental of D. Here's another fox: at the outset of each line of standard (the meridian line with the notes) after the treble clef sign (the squiggly thing), if there is one sharp (#) that's probably the key of Yard. Of course, it could be E minor...

In this collection, these are in the primal of M: Angels from the Realms of Celebrity (2nd version), Angels Nosotros Have Heard On High (2nd version), Away in a Manger (2nd version), Come, 1000 Long-Expected Jesus (2nd version), Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (2nd version), Infant Holy, Infant Lowly, In the Bleak Midwinter (2nd version), It Came upon the Midnight Clear (2nd version), O Come, All Ye Faithful, O Little Town of Bethlehem (2nd version), Silent Dark, Holy Dark (2nd version).

Not everyone agrees on the chords, and then to keep peace and goodwill in the family I left them out.

Welcome to the mandolin and especially welcome to the Mandolin Cafe.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Re: Christmas Music - Standard & Tab

Michael, This is a wonderful collection of GREAT tabs! I can not give thanks you lot enough! I've spent hours this evening enjoying these wonderful songs, and I expect to be playing them A LOT over the next few weeks. Man, these chestnuts audio Nifty on mandolin!

Besides, Jamie & Michael, thanks for the clarification on the meaning of the circled notes in the tab. Oh, and I'1000 finding that I most often want to use tremolo on the dotted quarter notes of nearly songs. (...Is there a reason for this?)

Sparrowhawk, as Michael has pointed out, the marks after the treble clef point the key for that detail vocal. Here'due south the ones used in this cracking collection:
bb (2 flats) = Bb (B flat)
# (i abrupt) = G
b (1 apartment) = F
## (two sharps) = D
Also, the very terminal song in the drove (the 2nd version of What Child Is This? [Greensleeves]) is in Am (A small-scale), the archetype key for this melody, IMO).

Michael, thank you over again. What a great drove!
