Description
The original tune by Thomas Ravenscroft is altered slightly at the end in the hymn that is sung these days.
I have gone along with the modernised version.
In these variations each of the instruments gets tune and divisions in turn.
I have made 2 versions for flute quartet - an alternative for 3 B flats and 1 bass is also available.
It is more jolly (time of Christmas) than penitential (time of Lent or Advent), but, as it is in the minor mode, it can be used for either.
