What a surprising idea using the Pierpont melody of “Jingle Bells” to create a beautifully warm setting for winter concerts. The text describes a scene of nature sleeping and dreaming beneath a blanket of snow set to simple yet rich harmonies with a touch of “sleep in heavenly peace” near the end. Exquisite.
