Data about the life of the work: This Christmas spiritual is cleverly packaged in a new, hip and jazzy arrangement that is part laid-back Swingle Singers, part rousing Gospel choir. It will challenge your singers' abilities, especially their sense of dance and swing, but once learned this arrangement is unforgettable and unmatched.
