This work marries two pieces that one would not normally think would go together well - Pachelbel's Canon in D and the traditional Christmas tune Jolly Old St. Nicholas. The result, as you might imagine, is a lighthearted homage to the old fellow in red, who thankfully has a good sense of humor. Though the arrangement is written with three-part mixed voicing, allowing older, changing, and changed voices to shine, it can also be used as a two-part piece.
