Sheet Music for Wind Quintet
A medieval flavoured version of the Sussex Carol. With some crunchy harmonies and an exhilarating climax it makes for a rumbustious alternative to more polite versions of this Christmas classic.
1. On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring
On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring
Chorus:
News of great joy news of great mirth
News of our merciful King’s birth
When from our sin he set us free
All for to gain our liberty?
2. Then why should men on earth be so sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad
Then why should men on earth be so sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad Chorus
3. All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night
Glory to God and peace to men
Now and forever more, Amen.
