Not my conlang, but one I've worked with a little in the past: Mark
Rosenfelder's Verdurian.
I translated "Adeste Fideles" into Verdurian quite a while back in a
post to his message board -
http://www.zompist.com/board/messages/380.html . Complete with sheet
music showing the original alphabet!
I also translated some national anthems, but they're not singable (
