Subject: RE: Origins: White Coral Bells/White Choral Bells
To refresh this thread, I took the trouble to transcribe the four-part version in Jerry Silverman's book, following Guest Ceto's pattern, transposed from G major to C major:

X: 2
T: White Coral Bells 2.1
C: trad, Jerry Silverman: Earth and Nature Songs, Mel Bay Publ., 2008, p. 55 (in G major)
M: C
L: 1/4
K: C
c2 B A | G3    E | F A G F | E4    |
C E D F | E G c e | d2 B2 | c4    |
c2 d c | e3    e | g f f a | g4    |
g e f d | e c g e | G2 d2 | c4    ||


Guest Alex' D major variant differs from this at the end of the third line. Who else has ever sung or read any of these, when and where?

(Mel Bay is a coincidential spoonerism of May Bell ...)
