About this title

Review:

Classic stuff from the best-known modern carol composer - straightforward words, a catchy tune starting on the off-beat, a rhythmic accompaniment for harp or piano, and a lively arrangement including unison, harmonic and contrapuntal techniques with, of course, the almost obligatory change of key. (Deo)
