Performance notes: a 4/4 time signature gives this familiar carol a slightly unexpected, yet compelling attraction. Although the well-known melody remains fairly simple throughout, the LH chords bring color and warmth to this setting. Keep the melody lyrical and very legato, allowing the new meter to elongate and draw-out the repetitive phrases. A slight rubato feel will help to keep the tempo from dragging too much. Gently build to the final crescendo in bars 57-60, mentally singing the words, "Jesus, Lord at Thy birth."
