Publisher Desc.  The "Glorious familiar song of old" from 1850 reflects the poem to which it was set through this delicate peaceful depiction of the "solemn stillness" over our "weary world". Carefully crafted in 3/4 time, it allows young musicians to play this beautiful carol (originally set in 6/8 time) and sound more mature than its easy level with very moderate ranges. The soothing sonority will help capture the heart of the season!
