Angels We Have Heard on High


"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a timeless Christmas carol that is traditionally performed in the key of G major. The origins of the song date back to France in the 18th century, with the original lyrics written by an unknown author and adapted into English by James Chadwick in 1862. The melody is an uplifting and joyful arrangement, featuring a catchy chorus that highlights the angelic message of the birth of Jesus. One interesting fact about this song is that it is often sung with a descant, a higher harmony line, adding to its festive and celebratory feel.
