Hey folks, here's a musical puzzle to solve. Listen to the piano music with the score and see if you can guess the very well known Christmas song that is embedded within. Hint - the tune is not played in a straight forward way. If you figure it out, please refrain from posting the solution just yet as I will post it before Xmas but do let us know if you've sussed it.
Here's the link to an mp3 and score.....Xmas Puzzle 2023
The link is good for a week from time of posting. If any of you see this too late, just post here and I'll refresh the link.

We already have one correct answer from John Driscoll. Nice John.
....now we have two correct answers. Well done gregorio.
Here's the solution folks, 'The Christmas Song'. Well done John and Greg, the next one will be more difficult to solve if I get the time.
as I've never even heard of this song, it's not surprising I didn't get it......
oh David, are you sure you haven't heard this....?

yes, I had already tried watching this very video and it rings no bells. And even if I had heard it, the song is so unmemorable, I'd probably have instantly forgotten it

and I've decided I can't resist the temptation to put in a puzzle of my own as I failed so miserably with yours.This seasonal song -- my own favourite -- (in my own arrangement) is known by everyone in a certain part of Europe but how many people on this forum (where unsurprisingly the majority of the members are from English-speaking countries) know it?

That's got me stumped as you surmised, intriguing arrangement though.
the sopranos sing the tune which is completely unaltered. Very often, this is actually sung by a solo soprano. I'll give it a day or so out of curiosity in case someone knows it. It's perhaps a bit unfair as the membership here is still growing and.I don't think we so far have anyone from the country of the composer
Isn't this what plays when the ring is destroyed in Mordor?
