Review:
This wonderful carol seems a natural for the addition of percussion, mallets, thumb damping, and plucking--and that is just what arranger Richard McKee has provided. These techniques are creatively introduced and woven into the fabric of the tune bringing out the medieval character of the melody. Richard encourages choirs to experiment with different percussion instruments to embellish this delightful Christmas offering. Measures total 64.
