Patricia Hurlbutt’s arrangement of this traditional English carol is accessible for late-beginning ensembles, yet has more than enough musical substance to engage even advanced choirs. The melody moves throughout the group, giving all parts their time to shine, while easy-to-learn accompaniment figures create textural interest. Several key changes and the occasional accidental provide just enough challenge to keep all ringers busy. A great choice for your holiday season! 111 measures.
