Anyone know anything about this melody for "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"? I've never heard this rendition before. The instrumental part uses the traditional melody but the vocal part sung by Julie Andrews uses a different one.

Wikipedia says it's an adaptation of a traditional "Noel" by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert and Sullivan) from 1874.
I've got an instrumental recording of it by Julie Darling, but it's the only other place I can recall hearing it. (And the CD appears to include no song authorship credits... I don't have it quickly to hand but the Discogs pictures give me no hope.)
