Publisher Desc.  The traditional English Carol opens in 4/4 and changes meters to 3/4 and 5/4. Major and minor seventh chords and driving rhythms (5/4) give it a fresh, yet still recognizable sound. The comma after “Merry” is stressed with a rest. Chord symbols allow for the addition of guitars or a pitched percussion instrument - a powerful and haunting selection. Other vocal and instrumental arrangements available.
