This arrangement from Kevin McChesney highlights the fact that this Christmas hymn is also called the "Echo Carol", through its use of dynamic contrasts and the interplay between bells and chimes. This lively setting evoking the angel's visit to the shepherds on that night long ago will surely find a place in many a Christmas service or concert.
