Medley of Christmas Carols This Advent setting is intended to reflect the wonder and mystery of the birth of Jesus. Conflict surrounded him from the moment of his birth, and this arrangement attempts to convey that turmoil through the use of dissonance. Care should be taken that the melody is heard above all other notes, and a smooth, legato line should be used for the entire piece.
