A version for SATB is also available at the link below
The cartoon animation was created, from a "choirboy" caricature of the composer by "Dale", by David Marsh (Paramolehill)
The words (taking the last verse) are
...on the twelfth day of Christmas the choir processed in song
and twelve candles dripped
eleven altos flipped
and ten lines were clipped
and nine gins were sipped
and eight crept to the crypt
and seven hymn books slipped
and six basses quipped
and five sang in tune!
and four cassocks ripped
and three lost their script
and two tenors tripped
and the soloist got it all wrong. less

I would like to thank my Ottawa singing friends in the "Ad hoc Chorale" for testing out this piece in one of our informal workshops and offering valuable comments.
I would also like to acknowledge the a capella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 27 years.
And I would like to acknowledge the Boston-based Blue Heron Ensemble for introducing me to the haunting music of Guillaume Dufay, which served as a major inspiration for this piece.
And with deepest appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.

Unfortunately, a ladybug lands on her neck, however, which distracts him. He then removes the ladybug, but sadly the kiss flies off forever!
