Wassail

A an irresistibly jolly setting of the Gloucester Wassail, with a vigorous (but playable!) fiddle-inspired accompaniment that builds throughout the arrangement and finally bursts into a spirited jig. Loads of fun for orchestra, chorus, and audience alike, this one is sure to have everyone’s toes tapping! Works well as a run-up to Auld Lang Syne.
