Christmas Story

(Christmas Oratorio, Weihnachts-Historie, Historia der Geburt Jesu Christi, SWV 435)

You can freely and lawfully download a printable score for this Work from International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) - though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, and it probably won't be as good as a proper modern paid-for engraved and printed score.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work:-
