About this song
An American carol: Edmund Sears's poem sung to Richard Storrs Willis's tune "Carol". Its gentle 6/8 sway is the thing to feel.
Practice tips
It starts with a pickup: come in on G right after the count-in.
The highest note is high E. From high D up, press the octave key with your left thumb too.
In 6/8, count each bar as two big beats (dotted quarters) to feel the flow.
We took only the soprano line of the parts. Transposed for saxophone (alto part). FingerNola fingering pictures and accompaniment are added to every note.
