Too early for Christmas Music? -- Not if
your kids' teachers are already asking for help in putting together a Christmas
song-book. On the internet, An
Online Christmas Songbook (http://www.rememberjosie.org/xmas/_toc.html)
has lyrics and printable sheet music for 90 traditional Christmas songs
(and the author has promised to add Chanukah songs). If your computer
and internet software are set up right, you can also listen to "midi" files
of the songs. For a larger list with lyrics and guitar/piano chording
(just the chords, not sheet music), go to Christmas
Carols (http://hot.virtual-pc.com/guitar/carols.htm). If that
doesnt satisfy, Christmas
Carols is a subset of The
Song Pages (http://hot.virtual-pc.com/guitar/songframe.htm) a much
larger file of online religious music. An
Online Christmas Songbook provides a "links" page to files of other
kinds of music. Finally, the University of Tennessee Music Library
has a huge file called MusicLink:
Music on the Net (http://toltec.lib.utk.edu/~music/net.html) which
can take you to all things musical.
