Duration 3:40.

This up-beat, swinging arrangement of O Little Town of Bethlehem checks all the boxes! The jazzy statement of the tune features hip unison lines with some punchy ensemble support.

Larry Neeck’s unique arrangement of this classic carol will get toes tapping, and hands clapping with holiday spirit!
