The treble version of this arrangement is the "original" one, being commissioned for Elektra by one of the choir's second altos in 2006, and recorded by them on a CD entitled "Chez Nous: Christmas with Elektra" (the audio sample provided is an excerpt from that recording). The arrangement alternates sprightly rhythmic verses with lyrical refrains, as the wassailers identify themselves ("we are your neighbours' children"), wish their hosts "a happy new year," and then hint, in successive verses, that they have both purses and stomachs that could do with filling!

Hi Stephen!
I'd like to purchase 20 copies for Penthelia Singers, but I'm only able to put 1 copy in my cart!
Please advise.
Thank you,
Alice Malach

It is hoped that the low price of $1 per download will encourage any ensemble wishing to perform this piece to purchase a copy for each member of their group! Thank you!
