On a Christmas Long Ago
From the DeFord household to you and yours, happy Christmas!
Each year I try to do a “Christmas Card Carol” to give away in lieu of fudge or cookies. (That’s because you don’t want my cookery. Trust me.) I never seem to get them done in time to be useful for the current year, and this year’s is no exception. So…
Here on Christmas Eve Eve (is that a thing?) is this year’s carol, “On a Christmas Long Ago.” The recording features vocals by my dear friend James Loynes.
Here’s a video of the same track. (It’s just the lyrics on a background… my imagination ran out about when the week did.)
The only score is solo voice–for now. I’ll probably do a choir arrangement for next year, and add the obbligato score then.
May your Christmas be joyful,
and may your new year
be filled with love and hope and peace.

May I pretty please get the obligato part to On a Christmas Long Ago? So beautiful. We’d like to add cello to the song for our church’s Christmas concert. I’m hoping I don’t have to “make it up”. Thank you!!
The background music was all improv–unfortunately, there is no score for it. 🙁
Has this song been written for TTB?
IF you can find the time, please do arrange this for SATB w/ obligato in time for next Christmas 2018. Along with our small ward choir, I also sing with a county community choir; conducted by retired choral instructor. This song would be perfect for the Xmas concert. We will also prepare a Spring concert, to be performed in May, 2018. I will be scrolling through your inventory first.
Thank you, Sally, for your lovely devotion to music. You inspire all of us.
