Ye Merry Gents

Description

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen is a famous and popular Christmas carol. This arrangement is presented in two very different ways. One section is slow and mysterious with a steady tuba ostinato and cup muted trumpets above while the other section is an upbeat swing style with a walking bass line in the tuba with jazz harmonies and backgrounds in the other voices. Both trumpets and the trombone get opportunities with melody in the swing section.
