THE FIRST NOEL

Arranged
Performance Notes

Finger style arrangement of the Christmas classic, in dropped 'D' tuning.

Try to let the parts ring together as much as possible. I didn't write in left hand fingering. [You can work out your own and write them in]. Try
to connect each voice as if they were being sung by a choir.
Arranged by Barry Wahrhaftig
