HINTS ON PLAYING

Below the titles of each Christmas Carol or song. you will see a suggested rhythm.

rhythm speed and voice which you can select from your keyboard.

These are for guidance only. and with experience you will wish to experiment. and

choose your own.

Where there are several verses, change the voice to suit the mood. this will also give

variety and interest to your playing.

The music has been phrased to match the punctuation of the first verse. For other

verses follow the punctuation. and phrase accordingly.

Fingering is also given. so that your hand and fingers are always in the right position

to play each phrase smoothly.

The fingers are shown- 1. Thumb

2. Index Finger

3. Middle Finger

4. Ring Finger

5. Little Finger

Sometimes to allow the hand to take up a new position lower down the keyboard.and continue to play smoothly, fingering 1-2-1 or 1-3-1 is shown descending.

The fingers 2 or 3 are passed over the thumb. the finger is then used as a pivot when

the thumb is stretched to the left to take up the new position.

Likewise to take up a higher posltlon the fingering is shown 1-2-1 or 1-3-1 with the

melody ascending. Here the thumb is passed under the finger. and the thumb is used

as the pivot for the fingers to be stretched to the right to take up the new higher

position.

Care should be taken with repeated notes. that each sounds separately. This isachieved by alternating the fingers. for instance if you play four repeated notes use

fingering 2 3 2 3.

When playing chords with the left hand use either Single Finger or Fingered Auto

Chord on your instrument.

It is best to release the note or notes after they have been played. as the chord and

rhythmtc pattern will continue until the next chord is played.

The player of course has the options of playing in rhythm. or using sustained chords.

2. "Hither, page and stand by me,

If thou know'st it, telling,Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where, and what his dwelling?"

"Sire, he lives a good league hence,Underneath the mountain;

Right against the forest fence,

By St. Agnes' fountain."

3. "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,

Bring me pine-logs hither;

Thou and Iwill see him dine,

When we bear them thi ther. "

Page and monarch forth they went,

Forth they went together;

Through the rude wind's wild lament

And the bitter weather.

4. "Sire, the night is darker now,

And the wind blows stronger;

Fails my heart, I know not how;

I can go no longer."

"Mark my footsteps, good my page,Tread thou in them boldly;

Thou shalt find the winter's rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly."

5. In his master's steps he trod,

Where the snow lay dinted;

Heat was in the very sad

Which the saint had printed.

Therefore, Christian men be sure

Wealth or rank possessing,

Ye who now will bless the poor,

Shall yourselves find blessing.

2. They looked up and saw a star,Shining in the East beyond them far,

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

3. And by the light of that same Star,

Three Wise men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the Star wherever it went.

4. This Star drew nigh to the north-west,O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

5. Then entered in those Wise men three,

Full reverently upon their knee,

And offered there, in His Presence,

Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

6. Then let us all with one accord,

Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought,

And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
