Reimagining a timeless English folk song, this contemporary arrangement brings a fresh approach. The 4/4 meter elongates the melodic line, and the harmony incorporates rhythmic vocables that may be performed a cappella or with the optional piano accompaniment. The traditional secular lyrics are used, though the well-known sacred Christmas text What Child Is This? can be effectively substituted.
