This is a jazz arrangement of the traditional holiday carol "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" written by Edmund Hamilton Sears and set to music by Richard Storrs Willis. The arrangement was done by Brent Edstrom and is written in a 76-measure piece with a key of B♭ major in G minor. It features a jazzy, up-tempo interpretation of the classic melody, while still preserving the original harmony and texture of the carol. It's a great song to bring in the holiday season with a little bit of swing.
