This jazzy, upbeat mash-up of two 19th-century Christmas favorites was written especially for the Choir’s 2021 Christmas concert by Michael Davis, formerly Chief of Music Production for the United States Air Force Band, and a regular collaborator with The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. “Christmas Is Coming” was first published as an English nursery rhyme in 1883, though its imagery and Dickensian language suggest it may have been penned even earlier. The melody for this jolly round is simply a variation on the familiar “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” The tune for “Deck the Halls” is a Welsh melody from the 16th-century, but the words are mid- 19th century American, written in an attempt to evoke nostalgically the traditions of an older British Christmas. The melody comes from an old traditional dancing song, part of a New Year’s Eve celebration originally performed with singers and harps.
