Christmas Carols for Ukulele Orchestra
12 Classic Carols for Three or More Ukuleles
* Orchestral-style Parts featuring Tablature & Standard Notation * Rhythm Parts with Strumming Indications & Lyrics

Authors note: I was inspired to create this book by a number of things; my love for the ukulele,
the ukulele ensemble I lead in the heart of the Wasatch mountains (UFO HUM: Ukes for Others Happy Ukulele Movement), my experience as a composer and arranger, and not least, some great arrangements for ukulele ensemble that Ive seen others do.
As Ive used some of the arrangements made by others with my UFO HUM group, Ive compiled a wish list of things Id like to see in a book of this kind. For instance, tablature parts for those playing strictly instrumentals (we spend a lot of time in rehearsal just figuring out the best fingerings), a rhythm part that includes strum suggestions with the chords, and lyrics for those of us in the group who like to sing as well as play.
This book meets these qualifications for the most part. Carol of the Bells and Deck the Hall omit the lyrics for purely instrumental versions of these standbys. Deck the Hall and We Three Kings also omit a rhythm part with chords for reasons of complexity. All in all, I hope you enjoy my take, influenced largely by my college studies in 16th and 18th century counterpoint as a composition student, to be a lot of fun for you and your ukulele orchestra or ensemble! Merry Christmas! M. Ryan Taylor UkulelePlay.com
Contents Note: This book is arranged ALPHABETICALLY, with the condensed orchestral-style score first, followed by the lyric/rhythm part, and then followed by the three tablature parts. I felt pagination would not be helpful for an ensemble, as each part is clearly marked and measure numbers are included throughout.
Away in a Manger Carol of the Bells Deck the Hall
God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen Good King Wenceslas
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Jingle Bells
Joy to the World Silent Night
We Three Kings We Wish You a Merry Christmas!
What Child is This?
Performance Notes While all the arrangements can be performed as written in the score and parts, Im including some variations that you might consider based on the preferences of your ensemble. First of all, the Rhythm Ukulele part (which contains the lyrics and vocal melody) can be omitted on all the arrangements if you only have three players. Alternately, the Ukulele 1 part usually sticks to the melody and can be omitted any time youd like to sing the melody instead from the Rhythm Ukulele part. Where and when you use the vocal lines are up to you, including the possibility of audience participation on one or more of the verses. Other suggestions are specific to the individual carols . . . Away in a Manger: Ukulele 3 combines the parts 1 & 2 to make an intermediate level solo. This solo (with or without the Rhythm Ukulele part as a duet) could be used to feature one of your fine players on sections A & B (the first two verses), after which the entire ensemble could join in on the C section (a recapitulation of section A). The Rhythm Part includes my simplified version of fingerpicking notation; the numbers indicate string numbers where A is the 1st string and so forth. This pattern can be played on the right hand with just the index and thumb fingers. Carol of the Bells: As written for three players (or multiples). Deck the Hall: This crazy version of the classic carol was inspired by a version I sang in high school, arranged by James McKelvy, that stays in 7/8 throughout. My version, however, playfully switches back and forth between 7/8, 6/8, 5/8 and 4/4 and includes my own brand of counterpoint. Perform, if you can, as written. ;-) God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen: The Rhythm Ukulele part enters on the second verse, though the vocal could be included on the first (if using vocals). Good King Wenceslas: This carol has five verses, and if you are singing them it is difficult to leave a verse out and have the carol make any sense. Ive included repeats to cover all five verses, but if youre doing this instrumentally, I would play through once and then take the repeat of the A section to conclude. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing: Maybe more than any of the other arrangements in this book, this one might be the one to forgo the Ukulele 1 part entirely and have the audience sing along while your ensemble weaves counterpoint around the melody on parts 2 & 3. Ive included the optional alternate lyric, As with Gladness Men of Old, which I like very much.
Jingle Bells: This would be another great one for an audience sing-a-long on the familiar first verse. Joy to the World: As written, with each of the parts playing on the verses marked for them. Silent Night: In this simple version of the carol, you might have the audience sing along with the Rhythm Ukulele part on the first verse, have parts 1 & 3 join on the 2nd, and save the contrapuntal Ukulele 2 part for 3rd verse. Other variations are also possible. The Rhythm Part includes my simplified version of fingerpicking notation; the numbers indicate string numbers where A is the 1st string and so forth. This pattern can be played on the right hand with just the index and thumb fingers. We Three Kings: Ironically, to shorten this carol to three verses, I added my own verse to conclude the carol (included are verses 1 & 5 of the traditional carol). There are no strum indications or chords because the constantly shifting harmony of the counterpoint makes if impractical. Perform with or without the lyrics as written. We Wish You a Merry Christmas!: This arrangement doesnt bring in the vocal line until after an instrumental section. Perform with or without the lyrics as written. The Rhythm Part includes my simplified version of fingerpicking notation; the numbers indicate string numbers where A is the 1st string and so forth. This pattern can be played on the right hand with just the index and thumb fingers. What Child is This?: The Rhythm Part includes my simplified version of fingerpicking notation; the numbers indicate string numbers where A is the 1st string and so forth. This pattern can be played on the right hand with just the index and thumb fingers. If singing beginning at the A section, omit the Ukulele 1 part until section C after the vocals end. A final note about the Rhythm Ukulele part: I have not included chord diagrams in this book, which is on an advanced beginner to intermediate level for the strummer. If youre unfamiliar with any of the chords included in this book, please consult a chord dictionary (many exist); my favorite online site for chord reference is UkeBuddy.com.
While I feel Ive given some well-informed suggestions for playing this strumming/fingerpicking part, please feel free to improvise a bit. Good ukulele players are generally great improvisers, especially in this realm. My suggestions are there to help, and provide guidance, not to constrict the player that has a lot of experience under their belt. Enjoy!

Good King Wenceslas
"Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing
"Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear him thither."
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather.
