Thread Name: Austrian carol: As Lately I Watched
Subject: Austrian carol: As Lately We Watched
While looking for Christmas to play with friends, I came across a MIDI of this delightful carol. You can go to this site:
http://deckernet.com/shed/other.htm
scroll down, and click to hear it. The arranger, who seems to be Michael Petri, has done a wonderful job. I can see my friends having a great time as the melody moves from flute to harp to recorder and back.
I have found the lyrics in English, but would like to have the German original. Please let me know if you have them, or even if you have the original German name, which may appear on a choral edition of it.
Thanks.

The original MIDI had some very messy passages, which I have fixed. It was also in a key and a range suitable for brass instruments. If anybody is interested in something this complex, please ask, and I will send my new MIDI to Joe for posting.
