It's a classic Christmas carol in an exciting, energetic arrangement for your orchestra. The opening brass fanfare sets the stage with quotes from other popular carols quoted by woodwinds and strings and finally a statement of the song from the horns. The melody moves through almost every section of the orchestra during the piece, always supported by a strong rhythmic pulse. This symphonic arrangement builds to a strong climax and then blazes to an exciting finish. It will be fun for your players and a delight for your listener.

A wonderful new adaptation of a great old traditional tune. The orchestration is tight, and flow of melody rises and falls, leading you through the story. A great anthem to start or finish any Holiday program. Well done, Steve.
