There is something magical about hearing a choir singing off in the distance, gradually surrounding the audience with sound. That is the effect captured in this wonderful advent processional. With optional tubular bells, the atmosphere of celebration will be palpable throughout your concert hall.

This arrangement explores the Caribbean style known as Afro-Cuban: independent melodic lines with strong rhythmic pulses are superimposed to build up textures that are both rich and translucent. Every section of the choir is spot-lit; every section gets its turn to lead. The piece would especially suit a choir in search of something seasonal but upbeat which is not a novelty number. (3:05)

Typically set in triple meter, composer Robert Sieving has chosen to set his arrangement of this beloved Irish Carol in duple meter. This choice allows for added contrapuntal writing as well as more appropriate employment of agogic accents. This is a show-piece for any Christmas or Winter concert.
