3 Christmas Carols

I love the sublime, the dignified, the refined. I especially look forward this time of year to the majestic "O Come, All Ye Faithful" in candlelight procession. However, there are those times (such as this 2003 congregational "carol sing") in which the tempi is increased and the instrumentalists and singers are more boisterous. Here is a medley of 3 carols ["Hark, the Herald Angels Sing," "The First Noel," and "Joy to the World"] for multiple choirs and congregation. I arranged the accompaniment for these carols to include handbell chord "trills," brass, and percussion ... and used the organ's State Trumpet for the interludes. Enjoy!

Is the 'tempi' supposed to be tempo in the description or are you referring to a term that is new to my vocabulary??

@peakster753 --- I suppose I should have used "tempo" here; however, often I use the plural form ("tempi") to refer to a variety of tempo changes. In this case ... the faster "tempos" (tempi) of the three Christmas carols in this festival setting.
