Composed by Cornish traditional. Arranged by Stephen Smith. Christmas. Octavo. 6 pages. Stephen Smith #6480313. Published by Stephen Smith (A0.960301).

St. Day is the name of a village near Redruth in Cornwall, England, where a version of this carol was transcribed from the singing of a local man in the early 1900s. The text is a "CliffsNotes" version of the life of Christ, relating each event to a different feature of the holly-tree -- blossom, prickle, bark, and berry.  But the tune is a rollicking drinking-song, rousing and fun. The arrangement is inspired by, and dedicated to, one of my musical idols, the great American composer and teacher Alice Parker; hopefully it exemplifies some of the choral-arranging principles she has sought to instill in her students (and anyone else who will listen!) for the past half-century or so. Thank you, Alice!
