God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, a traditional English carol, has been sung since the 16th century. The first recorded mention is in Three New Christmas Carols around 1760. The traditional melody in the minor mode first appeared in print in Facetiae and Miscellanies (1829) by William Hone. This highly original adaptation by Albert O. Davis will make a welcome and unique addition to your holiday program. Scored in string-friendly keys of G and D, this work presents no severe technical issues.
