(Level 3) This very unique, funky arrangement won top honors at the 1996 National Harmony Sweepstakes. This tune, normally in 3/4 time, begins in 4/4 with a quick funk feel, provided by the bass. By the end, the two meters are juxtaposed, melody vs. vocal percussion. A haunting, exciting, completely new treatment of a wonderful Christmas classic. Baritone solo. TTBB a cappella.
