CGE89 God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (SAB)
Description
With a delightfully playful rhythmic interplay between 3/4 and 6/8 meters, this joyous, fresh setting of the traditional English carol seizes one's interest from its introduction to its exuberant conclusion. The mixed meter sections act as musical bookends to a sensitive a cappella centerpiece featuring the reassuring angelic presence at the Nativity - tidings of comfort and great joy indeed! Equally appropriate for both school and church use.
Voicing: SAB
Arranger: Wesley D. Peters
Tune: Traditional English Carol
