Christmas Tunes

hey I have been asked to play some tunes at my office Christmas party. So if anyone can direct me to a site loaded with some Christmas tunes I would appreciate it.

Thanks so much

There are some on my site…

I have a whole bunch saved as .mus files. Do you have Finale Notepad or Scortch or something similar? If so, I’d be happy to send them. If not, you can download Finale Notepad for free here:

And I’ll still be happy to send them.

The last two years some of the folks who frequent the chat room put together some great Christmas recordings. I did a search and found Alan still has them on his site:

Aaackkk! The avatar didn’t work. It’s that darn computer illiteracy rearin’ it’s ugly head again! :blush:

You can also find Christmas tunes and many many others at the Digital Tradition Folk Music Database:

Tunes can also be show with whistle fingerings if you don´t read music.
Just wanted to add that they have midis and dulcimer tab too.

Don’t know who first posted this, but I kept a copy.

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Good Christian Men Rejoice (In Dulci Jubilo)
Blessed be that Maide Marie
Adam Lay y Bounden
I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In
The Holy and the Ivy
The Sussex Carol
The Sans Day Carol
The Boars Head Carol (perhaps a bit boring as a pure instrumental)
Here We Come a Wassailing
I Wonder as I Wander (not Dickensian, but a good instrumental)
Silent Night
O Holy Night
Greensleeves/What Child is This?
Joy to the World
By the Father’s Love Begotten (plainchant)

Ooo! Ooo! I just thought of another that works well on the whistle! “Angels from the Realm of Glory” (“Angels We Have Heard on High”). Oh, and “Away in a Manger”…all three commonly used tunes work well on the whistle, and I actually like to do a medly of all three.


O Come O Come Emmanuel
Once in Royal David’s City
We Three Kings
Bring a Torch Jeannette Isabella
King Holly King Oak
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
The Fist Noel
In the Bleak Midwinter
We Wish You a Merry Christmas

If you can get your hands on almost any hymnal, you’ll find some of these. And there is a website called the Cyber Hymnal. I forget the URL, but a web search should find it.

Here is the link for Cyber Hymnal. There also used to be a wonderful Anglican Cyber Hymnal, but it seems to have gone belly up:

This site has many common religious christmas carols, and a program that will transpose them to the key of your choice.
