O Holy Night

By on Friday, December 3rd, 2010 | 1 Comment

This is more of a devotional song at Christmas than a Christmas Carol. Usually it’s sung by a singer with real chops.

I got a request for this one by email. I hope I can find the message in my piles of messages so I can reply. This tune is not in my new ebook, 25 Christmas Carols in Tab. More about that is posted on the Fiddle Violin blog.

The song takes two pages. As a pdf file it’s just one file: O Holy Night pdf. Here are the images:

This has plenty of violin techniques. If you know the song, you can probably decipher the symbols. It’s a satisfying song to play. I hope you enjoy it.

Jingle Bells

This Jingle Bells is in the key of G. That’s a better key for singing than A. On the other hand, A would allow easy use of the open E string for drones.

Then again, maybe F would be the best key for singing. I like F for fiddle tunes, but beginners are not familiar with the finger positions for this key.

This is an example of how choices always leave something behind.
