A bright gospel-flavoured song with enjoyable rhythms and colourful harmonies. The song is through-composed with a recurring chorus which binds the whole together. -
This arrangement is perfect for singers who enjoy their low range, with a top belting note of C on the staff. -
An artsy and delightful arrangement of the familiar carol, full of character and great brass sonorities. -
A mini-fantasy combining two well-known carols. The lovely British carol tune ‘Forest Green’ contrasts beautifully with the angular ‘God rest ye’ in this arrangement. -
