This Swingle Singers arrangement by Alexander L'Estrange features classy but accessible a cappella writing with a bossa nova twist and will suit many a cappella, chamber choirs, school and high school groups, with an 8-part SSAATTBB scoring. This classic Christmas/holiday song, one of the stand-outs on the Swingle Singers' release Unwrapped, is now available for you to sing. It would work well on mic, or with step-out solos, and there is room for some fun with vocal percussion...!
N.B. Also from this same Swingles album, you can find and buy Joanna's Walking in the air arrangement as well as her beautiful 4-part SSAA Amazing Grace.
