Yorkshire Wassail

Here We Come A-Wassailing is a work by John Joubert for Unaccompanied SATB Choir. A setting of a traditional Yorkshire Wassail a full performance lasts around 3 minutes.

Based on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen-A mix of original material and an old English song let you explore the musical tradition of “wassailing” with your band. Stephen Bulla's amazing knack for harmony and subtly unpredictable scoring always makes for aninteresting ride. Your winter concert deserves something to contrast the usual fare and you'll find just that in this fine example of young band arranging. Innovative!
