If you do not recognize the melody of this popular Christmas carol, it is probably because over the last two centuries it has been set to some 40 different tunes! The one we present today is the one most commonly sung in the United Kingdom, which was composed around 1895 by Irish-born American hymnwriter William James Kirkpatrick.
Many thanks to Mark for contributing this arrangement for flute trio!
