Once, many a moon ago, I arranged this for 4-piece choir and unleashed it upon my music theory class at UCLA.
I dislike Christmas music with a fairly intense passion, but I do make a few exceptions. When you're not a Christian sometimes this season feels like you're getting punched in the face every day.
That said, I do have a "Radio Free Xmas", that I will unleash upon you tomorrow.
As for the chorale, I got an A. I wish I had recorded her performance.
@Animeraider actually, that carol is pre-Christian in symbolism.
"invoked as a synonym for Christmas. Yuletide is the much older of the two words; its first half, yule, derives from an Old English noun geōl. Both geōl and its etymological cousin from Old Norse (jōl) referred to a midwinter pagan festival that took place in December."

Christian King Hakon of Norway passed a law that Christmas and Yuletide celebrations were to be celebrated at the same time.
today's right wing "christian" would not like the line "don we now our gay apparel, falalalalala, lalalah😏
