12 Days of Christmas Music, Day 4

Today we have two advent carols, performed by The Petersens, a family bluegrass band. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" features a haunting clear lead vocal and tight family harmonies, while their version of "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" has some interesting rhythmic variants with duples against the 3/4 rhythm.

 

 
(You can listen to The Petersens' entire Christmas album on Spotify.)
