The last choir I was in was going through a modern phase, so it's been a while since the opportunity to do a piece like that came up. I know quite a few Rutter pieces, but not that one. I don't remember our fierce choirmistress at school telling us off for insufficient "harking", but she did have a thing about snappy consonants - no "Chrissmas" was allowed. I've not heard "The Little Drummer Boy" often enough to truly hate it, but I could come up with a few close contenders. Oh, I’d like to do the Messiah.

I'm surprised you dislike "The Little Drummer Boy" more than "Jingle Bell Rock," the suckiest Christmas song ever. Who was Harold Angel?
