This is an arrangement (by Proulx) of a medley of Christmas carols. Three carols are included: "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" (1 verse); "O Little Town of Bethlehem" (2 verses); "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" (3 verses) with interludes inbetween. This is written for congregation and SATB choir with accompaniment by organ (or 2 alternating organs), 2 trumpets. They key changes from Bb major to F major to d minor. Proulx wrote the trumpet parts and the organ interludes, but the accompaniment for the carols themselves are photocopies of published music (written by others). In this file, there are two copies of the photocopied accompaniments (one of which has a manuscript of Proulx's interludes attached to it), as well as a manuscript of the music for 2 trumpets in C. It is unclear if this has ever been published.
