They’re two entirely different songs! That’s why this song has the alternate title added in parenthesis. When I first learned this song, it was in the context of a church service: in a rush, I just saw “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” listed in the bulletin and didn’t check the hymn number. Ooops…fortunately, the congregation got a good laugh and I sight read well. This song is fun to play.

I love this, but I was thrown by “Hark the Herald Angels Sing!'” when you played something beautiful but totally unfamiliar. Please explain
