Tried something a little different for this Christmas arrangement. This is a dark version of "O Come All Ye Faithful." The vocal part of this recording is performed by Shawna Anderson Norton.

The text to "O Come All Ye Faithful" was originally written in Latin ("Adeste Fideles") and is attributed to John Francis Wade, an 18th-century hymnist. It was first published in a collection known as "Cantus Diversi" in 1751.
The original four verses of the hymn were extended to a total of eight, and these have been translated into many languages many times, though the English "O Come All Ye Faithful" translation by Frederick Oakeley in 1841 is particularly widespread. In 1841 Rev. Frederick Oakley worked on the familiar English translation which replaced the older Latin lyrics.
