The Christmas Songbook v. 1.2.3.

For songs out of copyright in the United States (that is, in 2020, songs published before 1923), additional details and verses can be found at The Hymns And Carols Of Christmas, a site that I established in 2002; ownership was transferred in 2014 due to ill health. The new owner has added a lot of advertising, but all 4,300+ songs and histories are still there.

There is lots of good music at the Ukulele Band of Alabama website, including lots of Christmas music.

Updated Christmas Songbooks for 2021 are now available. They will be used for the first time on Sunday, Nov. 28, during the weekly UkeQuestors Zoom (2:00 to 3:30 pm, Central Time). The "paged" editions have the page number printed at the top center of each page.

I'm also posting separate "Cover and Contents" documents that have the page numbers where songs are located in the Display and Print editions (they are different).

I expect additions and changes to the Songbooks as the Christmas season progresses. Updated files will be posted on Friday of each week with an announcement posted to respective Facebook pages. Individual song files have not yet been updated.

Finally, here are the original lyrics of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" before they were re-written for the 1944 Judy Garland movie "Meet Me in St. Louis."

Frank Sinatra's 1957 version with modified lyrics is now in the Songbook; Sinatra had asked lyricist Hugh Martin to "jolly up" the song for a planned LP.

Members of both the Tennessee Valley Ukulele Club and the UkeQuestors are invited to attend. Please do not share the Zoom link or password on public Internet pages but feel free to invite friends who are not members.

An additional "Auld Lang Syne," this version by James Taylor in the keys of D & G, one version with four chords and one version with seven chords. Cheers!

A quick reminder that "Syne" is pronounced like "sign" not "Zyne" (according to some postings at the Mudcat Cafe by some Scots, who should know.)

The mystery of the missing edits to the "Christmas Songbook 2020" has been solved. Although there is still some work to do on this document, here is the updated Songbook, both in Print and Display formats:

A couple of new arrangements of "Auld Lang Syne" for you today. Both are in the keys of C and G.

The Christmas Songbook 2020 has been updated to include the revised "The Coventry Carol" song sheets.

I discovered two errors in the The Coventry Carol (Am & Dm)_EZ song sheets. They have been corrected; this link is to the corrected copy. The Songbook has not yet been updated.

On this "first day of Christmas" there is a new edition of the Christmas Songbook 2020 plus one new song, the very haunting hymn "The Coventry Carol." YouTube links are below.

This hymn commemorates the Massacre of the Innocents, whose feast day is Dec. 28 in several Western churches (although it varies for other churches). There are two versions, the first of which is included in the Christmas Songbook:

The author is unknown; the oldest known text was written down by Robert Croo in 1534, and the oldest known setting of the melody dates from 1591.

This incident is recounted in the nativity narrative of the Gospel of Matthew 2:16–18 in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male children two years old and under in the vicinity of Bethlehem. They were considered the first martyrs of the Christian church.

The citation is to Jeremiah 31:15. Source: Matthew 2:16–18, King James Version.

This traditional Advent carol would be an excellent start to any Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service: Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming (in C & G). It is based on a 15th century anonymous German hymn "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen", translated by Theodore Baker (1894) and Harriet Reynolds Kraugh (1875). The tune is "Es Ist Ein Ros" (1599), harmonization by Michael Praetorius (1609). And check out this version from the Ukulele Band of Alabama website, Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming.

The sheet music from O. Hardwig, ed., The Wartburg Hymnal (Chicago: Wartburg Publishing House, 1918), #95

Released last week but I forgot to post it is Cynthia Lin's Beginner's Holiday Songbook for 2020. This is posted with permission and can be freely shared among friends and family, etc.

Theresa Miller have given us an adaptation of "Santa Baby" for Ukulele: Santa Baby Ukulele.

Keith Fukumitsu has also provided us with a new song sheet: Christmas Time by Bryan Adams. To refresh your memory, here's a link of Bryan performing this song: Christmas Time (the music video) and Christmas Time (live) from "Christmas At The Vatican." Great song.

And a Merry Christmas to you all with the hope that you will each have a happy and healthy New Year!

An updated version of the Christmas Songbook 2020 with most (but not all) of the changes that were mentioned last week.

The original four verses of "One Horse Open Sleigh" (later, "Jingle Bells"): Jingle Bells (Version 2) in C, D and G.

And a "rough around the edges" edition of the Christmas Songbook 2020 (Dec. 12). There are still some corrections that need to be made that I'll work on next week. The slowness of this edition is due to my lack of knowledge of the latest version of Microsoft Office (the version installed on my desktop computer is Office 2019; the last version that I used extensively was Office '97 - and there is a considerable difference between the two).

Another late addition is a version of "Sleigh Ride" that omits the troublesome Section B: Sleigh Ride (in C, D, and G).

Another song sometimes performed during the Christmas holidays, although it makes no reference to Christmas: My Favorite Things.

An update to Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep, which is now in Am, Dm & Em; because of the number of chords, the pages for GCEA and DGBE have been separated, allowing larger type and larger chord diagrams.

Here's a fun parody posted yesterday at the UkeQuestors Facebook page by UkeJenny. I've transposed from C to G and added chord diagrams: We Three Kings Of Covid Are []. Enjoy!

We had 20 additions last December. Individual files are posted at the bottom of the page, or
20 New Christmas Songs.pdf / 20 New Christmas Songs.zip
These songs will be added to the newest edition of the Christmas Songbook within the next few weeks.

C68	Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep (Irving Berlin, 1954) from the movie "White Christmas" (1954) (Am, Dm & Em) Although commonly performed as a Christmas song, the lyrics make no reference to the holiday. The song came from a personal experience of Berlin who was experiencing insomnia brought on by stress. Berlin incorporated the song into the movie to advance the relationship between the characters played by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. The theme reminds listeners to remember how much they are blessed instead of fretting about short-term problems.

C72	It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (Meredith Willson, 1951) A popular belief in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, holds that Willson wrote the song while staying in Yarmouth's Grand Hotel.[1] The song makes reference to a "tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well..."; the park being Frost Park, directly across the road from the Grand Hotel, which still operates in a newer building on the same site as the old hotel. It also makes mention of the five and ten which was a store operating in Yarmouth at the time. This perennial favorite has been covered by many artists.

However, in the film adaptation, it was repositioned so that Maria would sing it with the children during the thunderstorm scene in her bedroom.
