Adeste Fideles (O come, all ye faithful) - Arr. David Willcocks - practice!

Perhaps one of the most well recognised English carols, Adeste Fideles, or 'O come all ye faithful' is sung around the world at the evening and morning services of Christmas. For St. John's, this was our introit hymn (and used again on the Feast of St John the Evangelist).
With the Willcocks' arrangements for the penultimate and final verses, I hope this brings a smile to your face, and trust you enjoy.

I enjoy your accurate, well-rehearsed and unpretentious performances. Congratulations.

Aside from the descants and 'established' reharmonisations, I think going beyond these puts singing at risk, especially in circumstances where there's no choir support. At least in our corner of the world, Christmas (and Easter) is when we see people come who don't regularly attend church, so I try to make them feel feel welcome musically with the familiar traditional carols (as much as that's possible). Appreciate your thoughts Colin, thank you!

Wow!!

Lots of practice, trust me :p

[@nightowldickson]

Is there any arrangement that can ever improve on Wilcock's? It's just perfect in so many ways!!

[@DCTOnline]

There's other arrangements certainly, but I agree, this is Willcocks all the way
