Review:
Here We Come A-Caroling and God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen are combined in a challenging and entertaining format. Key, tempo and technique changes abound. This is truly a winning combination for ringers and listeners alike. Staccato, echo, martellato, and shake techniques all enhance the joyful character of the work, whose meter moves through 6/8, 2/2, 6/8, 4/4, and ends up back in 6/8. Performance suggestions are written into the score for easy access. 92 measures in length.
