Christmas

SATB and piano (with optional percussion)
Duration: 3.5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

In this fun, rhythmic arrangement of the classic Christmas carol, Michael Higgins retains the traditional melodic line in the vocal parts, while the use of syncopation and harmonic twists in the piano accompaniment creates an unsteady, off-kilter feel reminiscent of a camel’s gait. With optional percussion adding a contrasting steady pulse, this is a captivating reimagining of the much-loved carol.
