Deck the Halls

Download Free Sheet Music

[download .pdf]

” Deck the Halls ” or ” Deck the Hall ” (which is the 1877 title) is a traditional Christmas, yuletide, and New Years’ carol. The melody is Welsh dating back to the sixteenth century, and belongs to a winter carol, “Nos Galan”, while the English lyrics date to 1862.The English lyrics first appeared (still called “Nos Gallan”) in volume 2 of Welsh Melodies, a set of four volumes authored by John Thomas with Welsh words by John Jones (Talhaiarn) and English words by the Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant, although the repeated “fa la la” goes back to the original Welsh “Nos Galan” and may originate from medieval ballads. The song is in AABA form. The series Welsh Melodies appears in four volumes, the first two in 1862, the third in 1870 and the final volume in 1874. As can be seen from the translation of “Nos Galan” below, “Deck the Hall(s)” is not a translation but new words by Oliphant to an old song.

How to Learn The Piano Part

It can be most helpful to find a one-on-one keyboard instructor who specializes within the kind of well-known tunes that you are interested in. Although many of them are still classically-trained they take excellent pride and delight in culturing the pop music traditions. If the idea of learning online, doesn`t rather cut it, go to your favorite local music school or even musical instruments store. If you don`t know a excellent professor through word-of-mouth, your local music shop will give you suggestions on a wide array of piano music styles.
