Traditional Carol.
Wassailing songs are among the most popular of the secular holiday songs of Christmas. The tradition of wassailing refers to townsfolk going door to door, singing and drinking to the health of those whom they visit. This is basically what we know as caroling. This popular British Christmas carol has been cleverly arranged to give all members of the ensemble interesting melodic parts. Rests are a must on a Christmas concert and this has been taken into account, giving chop breaks as needed. (3:20).
