Performance Notes:
Anyone four carols? - Volume 2 by George Hyde is based on
- Here we come a wassailing
- What child is this
- Noel noel
- Go tell it to the mountain
Like volumes 1 & 2, here we have another re-working of four well known carols, arranged in a single movement with inventive transitions, harmonies, rhythms, all the while still sounding all to familiar. This volume may be performed on its own or in a more extended presentation with the preceding two. It is equally suited for performance in the concert hall, home, church, other social meeting places, and even for going house to house and busking!
