Bob Chilcott's Tomorrow shall be my dancing day is not an arrangement of the traditional carol but an original composition with dancing syncopations that remind one of John Gardner's setting - coupled with Chilcott's musical inventiveness, especially in some of the lesser-known verses. The characterization of verse 3 'Into the desert', verse 4 'Then down to hell' and verse 5 'Then up to heaven' will delight a carol-service congregation.
