  • God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen – Flute Choir

    Beginning simply with solo flute 4, flute 3 then takes the melody and the alto and bass flutes add a chromatic bass line setting the mood of this well known carol. A brief canon leads to the middle section, brighter in tempo, and using fragments of the carol. And then, a rollicking 3/4 version (in one) with the carol joyous and unexpectedly Lydian.

    Christmas is a celebration of joy and exuberance and this clever arrangement will absolutely delight your audience.
