Wonderfully inventive and different, this setting by Malvar-Keylock and Friedersdorf utilizes differing time signatures to bring a new perspective to this carol. The verses are unexpectedly set in 4/4, while the refrain dances in 3/4. Extremely versatile, with options for unison, two-, and three-part singing. The optional original Greensleeves lyrics are included for additional opportunities.
