Here is a refreshing treatment of this traditional favorite that will work great on any holiday concert! Opening in 4/4 and passing the melody from section to section, the arrangement shifts to the traditional 3/4 meter in the middle section before returning to 4/4 for the final segment. Nicely scored in an attractive setting.
