Good Christmas Songs for D Whistles

Mary Did You Know

If I can play it, it’s easy! I made a Christmas CD for myself with music off mp3.com, before they closed up the free downloads site. I think the Mary Did You Know rendition on it is by Jennifer Avalon. She’s got a site w/ music downloads for free, but doesn’t include that song (yet). A number of her other Christmas songs though are a capella or voice and guitar - good accompaniment practice if you have a whistle in the right key.

Good King Wenceslas is pretty easy too.

My favorite low whistle riff is a more wistful take on Auld Lang Syne I learned from listening to a Steve MacDonald Scottish Christmas cd. Don’t know if it’s the same as yours.

I just played O Come, O Come Emanuel at dinner this evening for the beginning of Advent. On a D whistle, start on E and think E minor (or PM if you want the notes).

Many thanks for your kind words, Will! :party:

Anyone know if we’re doing it again this year?

O Come O Come Emmanuel is gorgeous on a low D! One of my favorite advent/Christmas hymns.
