We're all familiar with the music of this Christmas
carol, but have we looked carefully at its words and
story? It tells a wonderful fable of goodness and
generosity! The narrative of King Wenceslas, his Page, and
the poor Peasant is effectively arranged. The men convey
the words of the King, the women sing the words of the Page, and the
combined chorus provides narration. You will never find an
arrangement of this carol that's more delightful and descriptive
while remaining accessible. The keyboard part is fun to
play and frames the story well!
