In this new rendition of the beloved Ukrainian Carol, Jan McGuire's sacred lyrics mesh well with John Purifoy's artful setting. Scored for voices and piano with optional handbells, this arrangement celebrates the birth of Christ with joyful vigor. The contrasting middle section is more hymn-like, making the original theme even more uplifting when it returns. The result is a fresh and sparkling new setting of this classic carol that we recommend highly.
