Review:
This programmatic setting of the familiar Christmas song is a perfect choice for worship and concert settings alike. Following the text of the song, the piece moves from the warmth and jollity of a medieval feast into the bleak, snowy night before returning once more to the lively festival. Though optional, the included percussion parts bring the piece fully to life. A good challenge for intermediate and advanced choirs, this jovial romp is 101 measures and is scored in C Major, F Major, and G Major.
