This traditional French carol gets a fresh and interesting makeover in the swing style. It is always a challenge to write a new arrangement of a familiar carol, and Peter Sciaino does a great job of keeping the main melody recognizable while adding some harmonic and rhythmic shifts.

Swing We Now of Christmas is a lively and vibrant arrangement of the beloved Christmas carol “Sing We Now of Christmas”. Combining the joyful spirit of the holiday season with the irresistible rhythms of an up-tempo swing chart, this arrangement brings a fresh, upbeat twist to a classic Christmas tune, inviting both performers and listeners to celebrate the season with a playful, toe-tapping energy.
