Matthew Culloton has created a fresh and stunning arrangement of this popular Christmas carol. Though a cappella, the lower three parts sometimes act as accompaniment with neutral syllables, granting the cherished melody prominence. The carol is frequently interjected by Culloton's own lovely melody, conveying a ritornello form. The composer's intimate knowledge of choral writing is apparent in his arrangement. A true treasure.
