Re: Christmas/Holiday Duets - A Holly Jolly Christmas
A second file, Holly Jolly Christmas, A Duet2.not, has been added to this thread. I had used a published lead sheet for the melody, with all of the syncopations as written. Cynthia and I have been hearing the Burl Ives version every Christmas season for many years as we cycle through our Christmas CDs. We have found it awkward to play the song as written, because our ears keep hearing the recording. So, I have added this second file with changes in measures 4, 8 and 22, rather than replacing the original. Choose whichever file you prefer to play.
