Christmas Selections
4 God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen—arr. Wesley
D. Peters. 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. Equally appropriate for
both school and church use.

H God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen—arr.
Elizabeth Campbell. What a great way to feature
the gentlemen of your middle school, junior high
or high school chorus! Your guys get to imitate
the sound of a swinging, walking string bass as
they lay the foundation for the tune, introduced by
the girls. Then the girls have fun singing the bass
line up an octave while the boys carry the melody.
Also available for TTBB, this is the ultimate men's
novelty feature! Complete with finger snaps and
a whispered "Yeah!" at the end, it is extremely
cool, and is guaranteed to be a huge hit with your
students and audiences!

propels the piece to its dynamic conclusion. You
don't want to miss this Christmas showpiece
which will provide a marvelous contrast to your
holiday programming. Suitable for both school
and church. A learning resource page is included.

multicultural spirit of the song.
