the Clarion Brass do the 12 days of Christmas right.

so... send me your favorite internet christmas carol setting and I'll post it here.

a merry christmas carol for all

now this canon was actually composed by Mozart (K. 560) - but the words never quite work in polite company, so when we were doing the first annual wine tasting and Mozart sesquicentennial celebration last month, we made up new words and everybody had such fun singing it, I took great liberty to write christmas carol words. So - here you go - download it, print many copies, share it with friends, sing it at parties. Careful, though! it's a very sticky tune, and you'll find it hard to get rid of it once you start humming and whistling it in lines at the post office and in the bank and singing over the musak in the grocery store, in the shower, you'll wake up singing it and go to sleep humming it... and it will make your Christmas more, more, more, more merry and a hap-hap-hap-hap-hap-happy New Year to all. And may we live in peace for evermore.

Go ahead - sing along!
