Written by Holst in 1910 for choir and orchestra, this arrangement provides the important lines from all voices woven into a single musical fabric. The interplay of the traditional carols: "Good Christian Men, Rejoice!," "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly" and "The First Nowell," provides a rich and challenging texture that will delight all.
