Smart. This version is written in A major and 4/4, with the melody, lyrics, and chord symbols shown above the staff. Since the accompaniment is not fully written out, the performer uses the printed chords to create an original arrangement. The score includes four verses and the refrain, with harmonies such as A, E7, D, F#m, C#7, B7, Bm, and E.Measures 1–4 present the opening verse line, “Angels, from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth.” The melody is written as a single treble-clef line, while the chord symbols move through A, E/D, A/C#, D, F#m, E/G#, E7, and A. This gives the performer a clear harmonic path for building a simple or fuller accompaniment.Measures 5–8 continue the verse with “Ye who sang creation’s story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth.” The harmony becomes more colorful with chords such as F#m/C#, C#7, F#m, E/B, B7, and E. This section gives the lead sheet a stronger sense of movement before the refrain begins.Measures 9–11 contain the refrain: “Come and worship! Come and worship! Worship Christ the newborn King!” The melody becomes more direct and repeated, making this the most memorable part of the hymn. The chords move through E7, A, D, Bm, A/C#, Bm/D, F#m, E, E7, and A, giving the performer a clear place to make the arrangement broader and more celebratory.Interesting fact: “Angels from the Realms of Glory” was written by James Montgomery in 1816. The tune most commonly used today is “Regent Square” by Henry T. Smart, which gives the hymn its strong, joyful Christmas character.How to earn points for this piece:Practice and learn to play the piece.
