The Christmas Oratorio

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from Cantorion - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below.

Much - but not all - of this Work was keyed in from the Barenreiter Urtext Vocal Score. Much - but not all - was keyed in using the "old" Novello score. Note that the new Novello edition may in places have different words - and different "titles" - for each piece ... but the notes are, I think, much the same.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work:-

Part 1 is immediately below. Part 2 is on the next page.
