It came upon the midnight clear

This is one of 4 uploads to be used as a "demo" for a soon to be published article on "The Barde".

It talks about what makes a good versus a bad hymn player, and how all of us can make the transition to the GOOD side!

Each hymn will demonstrate simple techniques, whether in terms of registration, or simple musical "enhancements" which are designed to spice up your hymns, and make them more interesting and inspiring!

I hope that you will read and participate in the article by giving feedback.

When Darryl asks me to come up with an article for "The Barde", I want to do something that people find worthwhile, so PLEASE, tell me what subjects you'd like to see!

All of these hymns and texts are from "The Hymnal 1982" of the American Episcopal Church.

The texts are given in the first comment.

I really HAVE to state the I detest some of the word changes, but, my desire is to demonstrate and not to lecture upon my liturgical literary tastes! :-)
