Here’s the pdf of the arrangement for Soprano Clarinet Quartet: 016.ServiceBookAndHymnal
I didn’t add the Bass Clarinet this time, stuck with the Soprano Clarinet on all parts.
I have sung this song, I don’t know how many times, and I don’t think I’ve ever bothered to really learn the actual rhythms accurately. Always sloppy caroling. Interesting to look at it with fresh eyes.
