Review:
By setting this favorite English holiday tune in 2/2, the arranger has made the rhythmic "fa-la-la" sections more accessible to novice ringers. There is the usual, bouncy plucked accompaniment as in most arrangements of this tune, but a surprise sections moves the whole mood into a minor key with LVed accompaniment. The bounce returns, however, and proceeds to the end with some chromatic movement along the way. Measures total 150.
