Here We Come a Caroling

The idea for the 1st arrangement was to again imitate the Gaylords.
This resulted in the "B" part being in a difficult key to work in (C sharp major), therefore I transposed the entire piece down by 1/2 step to put that section into C major instead.  Then I also got the idea to do a "tape-slowed" version of this -- 1/2 step down AND tempo slowed by a factor of 12th root of 2, as if tape was being used instead of the NoteWorthy Composer program.  You may know the story of tape speeds being adjusted to use parts of different versions in the released version of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever".  I also applied the "1/2 step down" to the drum part, which has no discernible pitch, in NoteWorthy Composer.
