Transposed from D to C major.
For easier reading the note values were doubled.
First performance on christmas 1818 by the poet (first
part (tenor) and guitar) and the composer (second part,
baritone) as a duet in D major with guitar
accompaniment. River flooding had possibly damaged the
church organ. Later on the melody was variously
misattributed to Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven.
