for SATB and piano four hands or orchestra Wilberg's masterful arranging is evident in this light and fun setting of the well-known traditional carol. With staccato chords in the piano on and sometimes off the beat, Wilberg creates a playful setting that will delight singers and audiences alike and which is ideal for Christmas concerts.
Arranged by Mack Wilberg (b.1955)
"Much fun is to be had here by choirs that can call on the services of two flamboyant and technically competent pianists, for the main challenge to the singers' skills is simply getting the 'dings' and 'dongs' in the right order. Other than that, the melodies are familiar, the chording straightforward, and all is laid out to be eminently singable . . . there should be plenty of opportunities to display one's prowess, for this is a piece which cries out to be encored!" - The Organ, November 07
