Douglas Wagner’s arrangement of this carol for Christmas and Epiphany explores several textures and harmonic ideas. Scalar passages evolve into rippling motion in the inner voices, followed by a chordal middle section. The piece ends softly, echoing textures from the beginning. This hymn setting is an accessible, memorable sonic experience for listeners and ringers. 58 measures. Key of g minor.
