The First Noel

Traditional English carol.
Piano trio.

The simplicity of this traditional melody leaves lots of room for interesting arrangements, including (hopefully) this one! Check out the recordings below: these fine musicians have played this piece more beautifully than I imagined it myself.

Hear the music:

• MP3 recording by the sisters of the Carmel of Reno
• MIDI file

You can also download this piece as a Lilypond file or a Finale 2006 file.

Here's a performance video I found online:
