Free Christmas Songs
Wexford Carol in Four Keys

Free Christmas songs for voice and piano Wexford Carol, offered here in four keys. I first learned to love this unusual Irish carol listening to it on a Windham Hill recording, Celtic Christmas III. The Oxford Book of Carols claims that the tune was taken from a traditional singer in County Wexford, but that the words seem to have come from England.




Here is the incomparable Alison Krauss singing the Wexford Carol (in the key of Eb) with cellist Yo Yo Ma preparing Songs of Joy & Peacein the recording studio. This is a fabulous recording.



Now, the way I have arranged this song is quite different than you will see in the Oxford Book of Carols. I decided to set the song with 4 quarter notes per measure rather than 3. It is much easier to read and the rhythm SOUNDS just the same. Since it is an Irish carol, both the rhythm and harmony seem fluid as Celtic music sometimes does.

THIS SITE IS AMAZING!!... Thank you so much for your hard work getting these on the web, you have mademany children very happy!!



Joy:
Thank you. Just wanted to say I found your website bymistake but what a blessing it has been. I am a missionary wife living in Spain (for many, many years) and I teach piano to Spanish children and adults. I have the barrier of very few usable things in Spanish, and can so identify with the need to write things suitable for the student...

Marta:
Thank you for the free downloads! I'm a private teacher and I teach piano and beginner voice as well. :) I've been running my studio for about a year and I've come across the same issue; I don't want my students to have to purchase an entire supplemental book for only a couple of songs. So thank you for this site...some great downloads!!



Yolanda:
