On the third day of Christmas the PM sent to me – a suggestion to learn this tune which I might be asked to play on any (special for someone) day of the year.

On the fourth day of Christmas my PM sent to me – a reminder to revise/learn this tune which we don’t play often but we will play on NYE.  Sheet music for God Defend NZ   and   audio file for God Defend NZ

On the fifth day of Christmas, well for something different, this one is a bit of a challenge as there are several different versions of how its played. The timing is a challenge although once the drummers get the hang of it we’ll be able to make a good go of it.
