A Virgin Most Pure

English carol · voice and piano · Historical score · two music pages

Carol no. 2 in Edward F. Rimbault's historical songbook. Both music pages, including the original printed words, are shown.

Playable score

The right hand keeps all 25 bars of Douglas D. Anderson's public-domain melody. A sparse F, B-flat and C7 bass-and-chord part has been added for the left hand. This accompaniment is newly arranged for this site; it does not transcribe the keyboard part in the historical facsimile below.
