Originally written as a Christmas poem, this lovely carol has been set to several different tunes. In this arrangement from the Raleigh Ringers series for advanced choirs, Cathy Moklebust uses the Irish tune GARTAN, combines with Gustav Holst's CRANHAM, to create an ethereal experience in her own inimitable style. Key of Eb major. 114 measures.
