Synopsis

for SATB and organ
This spirited carol gives a fresh take on the traditional Christmas text. The lively 7/8 metre, lilting upbeat rhythms, and contrasting textures are a real pleasure to sing, and perfectly express a sense of Christmas joy. With an extra layer of character from the animated organ interludes, this carol makes a delightful addition to any Christmas service or concert.
