This popular holiday tune has had many iterations. In this unique Grade 2 version, its three main themes are arranged in a new and somewhat altered way, with the familiar melodic and rhythmic motifs passed around each section of the orchestra, resulting in a beautiful musical fantasy on the iconic carol. This piece has easy rhythms, 3/4 time throughout, keys of E minor and A minor, some accents, pizzicato, and two-note slurs. Piano is optional.
