Bring A Torch/ I Saw Three Ships / The Wren (sheet music) (revised Dec 3, with a correction in the second part of ‘The Wren’).

Here’s a link to an instrumental recording of Bring A Torch / I Saw Three Ships (key of G) by Loreena McKennitt. Below is the same recording transposed to the key of D and slowed down. We’ll perform these two tunes instrumentally before we sing The Wren, as indicated in the sheet music.

And below is a computer-generated mp3 of all three tunes (Bring A Torch/ I Saw Three Ships / The Wren) played up to tempo (revised Dec 3 with a correction in The Wren tune). Note that we slow down the last line of the The Wren, as indicated by the rit in the sheet music.

River
Above is a lead sheet (lyrics/chords/melody) arrangement of Joni Mitchell’s song River (key of D) for the musicians in the group as well as singers who read music. We’ll be singing it at Friday night’s singalong/rehearsal but won’t be performing it.
