(Level III) This version starts out very close to the traditional harmonization with the words in the melody and harmony parts on "oo." The arrangement gets more harmonically complex as it progresses through the second verse but remains singable. Feel free to let the tenors switch to falsetto during the climax of the piece if necessary. This is a great arrangement for a quiet moment in a holiday program. SATB A Cappella
