Description
A new carol for Yuletide! The merry melody, punctuated by festive "Sing Noels" is passed through the choir, giving each section a small feature before a celebratory chorus unites the group in harmony. A minor section provides contrast in the middle, and the sopranos place joyful ornaments on the final full-force refrain.

More about this title

Why we love this

Perry writes with genuine warmth for the choral voice, and this carol proves it. The sectional features keep everyone invested, while the minor section provides real musical substance instead of just festive decoration. Sopranos get a moment to shine with those ornaments on the final chorus, which feels earned rather than arbitrary.

What to expect

Bright and celebratory, with moments of reflective warmth in the middle. The passing melody gives the piece conversation and movement, building toward a joyful final unison that feels genuinely triumphant rather than forced.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced church choirs and community ensembles looking for fresh Christmas repertoire. This works well for groups with strong soprano sections who can handle the ornamental writing on the repeat.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the "Sing Noels" so they punctuate without overwhelming the melody line. Each section should land these moments crisply.
  • The minor section needs a shift in tone and dynamics. Don't let it blur into the surrounding major material; make the contrast clear.
  • On the final refrain with soprano ornaments, ensure the upper voices don't drown out the harmonic foundation below them.

How to use it

Pair this with a more introspective carol earlier in the program to let this one land as a strong closer or midprogram lift. The sectional arrangement makes it engaging for larger audiences who enjoy seeing ensemble members featured individually before joining together.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with confidence in sectional features
  • Maintaining harmonic blend while ornamented parts move above
  • Contrasting major and minor tonalities in context
  • Ensemble unity after divided or soloistic passages
