Note from the arranger<\/h3>\n

This joyful Christmas carol features three verses separated by an interlude. Each instrument takes its turn with the melody.<\/p>\n

The poem, \u201cHymn for Christmas Day\u201d written by Charles Wesley, was first published in 1739. In 1753, George Whitefield changed a few phrases, renamed it, and set Wesley\u2019s poem to music. Wesley wanted his hymn to be sung in a slow and solemn manner. In 1840, Felix Mendelssohn composed his \u201cGutenberg Cantata\u201d in honor of the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press. It featured a male chorus with two brass orchestras plus timpani. In 1855, William H. Cummings set the lyrics of \u201cHark! The Herald Angels Sing\u201d to Mendelssohn\u2019s \u201csoldier-like\u201d melody, creating the Christmas hymn we know today!<\/p>\n
