Original tekst

After noticing melodic and harmonic similarities between the Gavotte from J. S. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 4 in D and Mendelssohn's popular carol, Hark. the herald angels sing , I became convinced Mendelssohn must have adapted Bach's music for this carol. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to create an 'original Bach version' of Hark. the herald by setting the words of the carol to the music of Bach's Gavotte , in an arrangement for choir and keyboard. Bach's Christmas Carol is the result. - Nigel Poole, Canberra, Australia, 2006.
