Go Tell It On The Mountain

Post by Lark »

Does anyone know if the above song is playable on the whistle? And if yes, does anyone have sheet music/ABC/ tablature for it available?

Thank you:-)

yes it's playable, key of D; first note is B, which sounds twice.
Then A, G, E, D, G.

It's playable - I just tootled out a version starting on an a slide up to b. Dunno if that helps.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

No problem with that. I've now got it down to one hour, seventeen minutes, and twentythree seconds. Ya just gotta practice more, Joseph. :wink:

I got a slightly different version, and here goes;

B4 BAGE D4 G4

AA2G G2A2 BABA G4

B4 BAGE D4 G2c2

B2B2 A2A2 G8

the only difference is in the second line.
