This festive processional explores both the mystery and power of the 14th-century carol. Beginning quietly, the modal tune emerges over a chant drone with rustic, medieval percussion. Soon the piece takes on the joyous character alluded to in the title. As the work draws to an ebullient close, all the stops are pulled with resounding brass and ringing metallic percussion! Whether used as a striking concert opener or a jubilant final selection, this will add festive spirit to your winter or holiday program!
