It's called "A Christmas Carol." It is lovely and has long
unaccompanied sections.
I prefer quieter Christmas Eve pieces, myself. Alos look at:
Quilter-An Old Carol
Dello Joio-A Christmas Carol
Niles-I wonder as I wander, plus others in the Schirmer collection.
There are two volumes of Christmas Songs published by Boosey and
Hawkes with songs by Quilter, Ireland, Head, etc. Highly recommended!
