Alternating between triple and duple meter, this carol has the feel of a renaissance carol. The refrain utilizes the Latin text of Hodie Christus natus est, while the verses are set in English. Scored for SATB and two-part choir, this octavo also includes parts for flute, Bb trumpet, and handbells. The brisk and upbeat tempo beautifully illustrates the joy of Christmas Day.
