I just want to be clear, this song should be sung with a heavy Scandanavian accent. Sort of, “Eye Em So Glad each Chrismas Eve”.
I am so glad each Christmas Eve,
The night of Jesus’ birth!
Then like the sun the Star shone forth,
And angels sang on earth.
Definitely a folkier tune, and again with the 5 sharps. No rest for the wicked.
Clarinet arrangement: 045-iamsogladeachchristmaseve
