| Added by gorden-gibson, 10 Dec 2013 Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is the result of alterations by various hands, notably by Charles Wesley's co-worker George Whitefield who changed the opening couplet to the familiar one, and by Felix Mendelssohn. A hundred years after the publication of Hymns and Sacred Poems, in 1840, Mendelssohn composed a cantata to commemorate Johann Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, and it is music from this cantata, adapted by the English musician William H. Cummings to fit the lyrics of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, that propels the carol known today.[2 Source / Web : | Hark! The Herald Angels Sing | Sheet central : | Hark!
