The melody is first stated by the string bass. As the arrangement unfolds, the cello joins along with the entrance of the viola a few measures later. The refrain of this joyous carol is triumphantly stated as the three violins join in. This arrangement is full of simple, yet effective counterpoint and beautiful harmonies. A modulation displaying rich chords brings the piece to a glorious conclusion.
