The Herald Angels Sing * It Came Upon a Midnight Clear * Joy to the World * O Come All Ye Faithful * O Come, O Come, Emmanuel * O Little Town of Bethlehem * Silent Night * The First Noel * What Child Is This?
As most musicians can attest, sometimes sheet music can oversimplify a familiar song, rendering it hard on the ears. However, Alfred Music has done a tremendous job arranging these pieces.
