Ding Dong Merrily on High
by Robert Kowalewski
SATB a cappella – CP 2452 – duration 2:05
Ding Dong Merrily on High! The bells ring throughout this fun arrangement, which had the audience bouncing in their seats at its premiere performance by the Capriccio Vocal Ensemble at Victoria’s Christ Church Cathedral.
Ding-dong! Merrily on high
in heaven the bells are ringing.
Ding-dong! Verily the sky
is riven with angel singing:
Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!
