This timeless classic is loved all over the world. Using chord substitutions, the harmonic structure of the piece sounds much more advanced than expected at this grade level. The musicians play con sordino, adding to the transcendent feel of the work, and two key changes give the students experience in shifting tonalities. This delicate, enchanting carol is a beautiful addition to any holiday concert.
