New Sheet Music! "A Gift to Us Was Given" Christmas Carol

CEFR Level B2-C1

My second Christmas carol is ready! “A Gift to Us Was Given” tells the Christmas story in four verses and a refrain. I love that it is mostly in a minor key, giving the carol peaceful joy. The refrain, a celebratory response to the meaning of the verses, is in F major. 

This arrangement is in hymn style. The primary melody is created for the average congregant to be able to sing, but sopranos have the option of going up to a high A (A5). 

I love how versatile this hymn is. It could be sung like a lullaby or with gleeful anticipation. My one suggestion is for verse one, in measure four, get softer as you move to the end of the musical line. You may want to do this on other verses as well. 

Enjoy this new Christmas carol and let me know how you used it!
