Conceived as a dialogue between old and new, and associated with the Christmas season, this work is suitable for year-round performance. The light and buoyant treatment of the familiar melody grows and subsides in musical swells, providing unmistakable forward motion. Counterlines envelope the main tune, dancing and growing as all voices blend together for a resounding finish. The use of pizzicato syncopation adds a fresh approach to this ancient tune.
