Review:
According to the arranger, the verses in this setting of the traditional Christmas carol “Good Christian Friends, Rejoice” are meant to be metaphors for life, from the gentle lullaby of the baby's crib to the ”silver haired” perspective of later life. The result is a unique and wonderful arrangement from a truly gifted writer. 110 measures in length, this piece is scored in Bb, C, Cb, and D Majors.
