Review:
This festival-caliber piece uses aggressive rhythms and techniques to communicate the strength of this resounding Christmas hymn. Because 16th notes are so prevalent throughout the piece, it is best to start slowly and work up to the tempo. Texture is full and changing time signatures provide an extra challenge. A total of 98 measures, this piece is scored in F Major.
