Composed by Original Publisher: William B. Sandys (1833). Arranged by Deborah M. Sylvester. Christian,Christmas,Sacred. Score and parts. 8 pages. Silverflute Music #484795. Published by Silverflute Music (A0.899181).In keeping with the chipper briskness of the Christmas spirit, "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" is creatively crafted for flute and violin. To add interest, the tune is not brought forth until after the brief, pace-setting musical material introduced by the violin. The melody then passes seamlessly from flute to violin, is occasionally interrupted by by a bit of flashy flourishes, then assumes a bit of a andante-to-extreme-accelerando Jewish feel as the instruments converge and prepare to transition quickly back to the same musical material with which the song began. If you are looking for a fun, yet challenging Christmas piece to perform with a talented friend, this is the piece for you!
