We wanted to spruce up Greensleeves a little ... and I love the old Latin songs like Gaudete! So here is the Greensleeves/Gaudete mix!
It is a bit of a challenge moving from one to the other, but nothing too nasty - and we all like to sing the Gaudete chorus, so that helps to ease the transition! Score and parts included $15 |
