Christmas Intermediate Chord Melodies

This evening, I have put the final touches on a set of 15 intermediate chord melodies for Christmas (all songs in the public domain) that are available through my Buy Me a Coffee Page (direct link:  https://bmc.xyz/l/christmasuke)  The price for the collection, which includes quite a bit of features is $6 US (Two “cups of coffee”).

Each of the songs is arranged for GCEA and DGBE, work with High G and Low G, and also stay within 12 frets so that any ukulele can play them.

I recorded a (rather imperfect) demo for each song, which are releasing daily on YouTube through Friday, December 17th, as well as a tutorial which is an unlisted link to a YouTube video. The demonstrations can be heard on YouTube.com/ukestuff (Playlist link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8_PsjHwo54Tjz5yMXdGTvJa08c8iEv9O), and the video links for the tutorials are in the PDF that is available for purchase.  Each demonstration features High G, Low G, and Baritone.  (Note: if you are reading this before Friday, December 17th, videos that have not been released yet will not load from the playlist, but all videos will be available on 12/17/21)

If the project is successful, I may offer paper versions in the future.  And I may also expand the offerings (free of charge to those who have already purchased the arrangements) in future years.

There are actually 16 songs, as my arrangement of “Away in a Manger” includes both common versions of the song.

• Angels We Have Heard on High 
• Auld Lang Syne 
• Away in a Manger (2 Versions in one arrangement!) 
• Carol of the Bells 
• Coventry Carol 
• Deck the Hall 
• The First Noel 
• Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 
• Joy to the World 
• Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming 
• O Christmas Tree 
• O Come, O Come Emmanuel 
• Silent Night 
• We Wish You a Merry Christmas 
• The Wexford Carol
