Opis

Intricate counterpoint and a continuo-style bassline bring a medieval flavour to Williams' arrangement of this much-loved carol. The gentle vocal lines build in texture throughout, with optional support from the accompaniment. Originally published in The Oxford Book of Flexible Carols, it is also available in a version for two-part and optional accompaniment.
