Alex, you can bet I'll clip that post for future reference. <g>

Here is a Carpatho-Russian carol I had our choir learning yesterday. I only have it in English translation. I've included the ABC notation for the melody but that is just the soprano part. You really need the other parts to hear how it should sound. Maybe I'll try to create a MIDIText file later.

There Is Joy In Bethlehem

There is joy in Bethleham, Christ the Lord to us is come, Angels singing, Shepherds kneeling, Wise Men following a Star, for Christ is born.

God fulfilled His promised Word, Sent the Saviour Christ the Lord, Angles gloriously proclaiming, Peace on earth, good will to men, For Christ is born.
