Grunden, Manuel - Ding, Dong, Merrily On High

Manuel Grunden has created an impressive modern interpretation of the English Christmas carol Ding, dong merrily on high, which itself is based on a 16th century French dance tune. Piquant and well-conceived harmonies turn the classic carol into a scintillating jazz/pop work that is sure to captivate with its colorful vocal writing and creative accompaniment patterns.

Manuel Grunden’s reimagining of this traditional festive song with a contemporary sound has created a piece suitable for any Christmas concert program.
