DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH Among the liveliest of Christmas songs, Ding Dong Merrily on High is a musical romp. As is this delightfully fun arrangement!

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER Originally a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti, In The Bleak Midwinter was set to music by Gustav Holst in 1906. Commonly performed as a Christmas carol, it is a calm, beautiful hymn.

LO, HOW A ROSE E'ER BLOOMING Originally a Marian Hymn of German origin, Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming is an enduring and popular Christmas Carol. It has been recorded by artists such as Sting, Mannheim Steamroller, and Linda Ronstadt.

MASTERS IN THIS HALL, also known as Nowell, Sing We Clear, is a Christmas carol for which poet William Morris wrote lyrics to a French dance tune by Marin Marais. While not entirely a standard within the top echelon of Christmas carols, this delightful air is brought to life by our inventive arrangement. Take a listen!
