The Church Pianist: O Come All Ye Faithful



Here are some accompaniment
ideas for the Christmas carol:
"O Come All Ye Faithful".

Editor notes for accompaniment
examples:

Verse one: Simple but full to support
the singers.

Verse two: Used more upper register
notes for right hand to picture
"choirs of angels".

Verse three: The full chords in right
hand support the majestic mood.
The left hand stepping octaves
add life for the grand finale.



"O Come All Ye Faithful" is a stately Christmas carol.

Full chording is necessary to support this mood.
