Here's a classic traditional Holiday carol written by Charles Wesley that dates back to the 1700's
Felix Mendelssohn composed a cantata in 1840 called Festgesang or "Festival Song". The melody of Mendelssohn's cantata was then used by William H. Cummings and adapted it to the lyrics of Wesley's "Hark the Herald Angels Sing".
This version is in classical instrumentation of flute, harp, and choir giving a feel and sound much like that of the the period in which it was composed. It would make a great choice for reverent and respectful holiday projects.
