A beautiful reflective introduction sets the stage for this unusually creative arrangement of this timeless Christmas classic. The melody which is usually heard in triple meter takes on a new flavor in this 4/4 arrangement. The chords are completely new, and are both emotionally and intellectually satisfying. The flutist will enjoy a short cadenza near the end. Although this arrangement focuses on the flute, the piano is also featured. The new ideas and wonderful melody make this piece something that may be used for any special Christmas occasion.
