The First Noel – Accompaniment Track

Hello Friends,

For my first offering in a while, I am uploading an accompaniment track for The First Noel.  I have seen up to five (5) verses available for this song, and there may be more.  As it goes, the tradition was to teach the Christmas story through song and stain glass windows.  Sometimes the lyrics were straight forward, and at other times it was an allusion to the content found in the Biblical narrative.

Here I am offering 3 verse and 5 verse accompaniments.  The three verse version starts off with the refrain as the introduction.  It ends with the refrain being repeated and ending with the phrase, “born is the king,” being repeated.  Catching on to it’s form should be no problem.  The 5 verse version starts with the refrain as an introduction, then it continues straight through the five verses.  The demonstration track has a scratch vocal.  Feel free to choose any verses you may find available for this song.

These accompaniments should be easy enough to follow for congregational singing.  They should also work for the choir director wishing to be a bit more creative with solos and additional voices.  Also, the lyrics should be easy to find on the internet or in a hymnal.
