Description
The original tune by Thomas Ravenscroft is altered slightly at the end in the hymn that is sung these days.
I have gone along with the modernised version.
In these variations each of the instruments gets tune and divisions in turn.
I have made 2 versions for clarinet quartet - the alternative version uses E flat and Alto for voices 1 and 3.
It is more jolly (time of Christmas) than penitential (time of Lent or Advent), but, as it is in the minor mode, it can be used for either.
