‘God rest ye merry, Gentlemen’ is an ancient English carol. It was first published in 1833, but it can be traced as far back as the 15th century, which makes it one of the oldest carols known. ‘God rest ye merry’ is a Middle English salutation. In this manner, people wished one another greatness and might. In modern English, the first line of this carol would read ‘May God keep you mighty, gentlemen’. Andrew R. Mackereth has not kept to the original words in his up-tempo arrangement of the carol. It is still clearly recognizable, but the arranger has taken a good many liberties. Sometimes a particular note is held longer, at times motifs follow oneanother in various parts. If you listen carefully, you may even be able to detect a motif from another well-known song. ‘God rest ye merry Gentleman’ is een oude Engelse carol. De eerste officiële publicatie was in 1833, maar de sporen leiden tot ergens in de 15e eeuw. God rest ye merry Gentleman is daarmee één van de oudste carols. ‘God restye merry’ is een oude groet. Men wenste elkaar kracht toe. Wanneer we de titel naar ‘onze’ tijd zouden vertalen, dan luidt die ‘May God keep you gentleman strong’. Andrew R. Mackereth heeft zich in dit ‘up-tempo’arrangement niet aan de tekst gehouden. Het lied komt wel zeer duidelijk naar voren maar de arrangeur heeft zich de nodige vrijheid gegund. De ene keer wordt een noot langer aangehouden, een andere keer zijn het motieven die elkaarin diverse stemmen opvolgen. Als u goed luistert kunt u zelfs een motiefje uit een ander zeer bekend lied herkennen.

Gustav Holst composed almost 200 works, one being a very elegant and charming fantasy on the old English christmas carols: Good Christian Men, Rejoice; God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Come Ye Lofty, Come and The First Nowell. The fantasy called Christmas Day was originally written for mixed choir with orchestra or organ accompaniment. Robert van Beringen has arranged this work for concert band exactly 100 years later. His arrangement can be performed as an instrumental piece or with a choir, making it suitable for any occasion.Een van de tweehonderd werken die Gustav Holst heeft gecomponeerd, is deze fantasie over de vier oude Engelse kerstliederen: Good Christian Men, Rejoic - God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen - Come Ye Lofty, Come en The First Nowell.In 1910 schreef hij Christian Day - oorspronkelijk voor gemengd koor met orkest of orgelbegeleiding. Precies honderd jaar later bewerkte Robert van Beringen het werk voor blaasorkest. U kunt zijn arrangement geheelinstrumental, maar ook met koor uitvoeren.Eines der 200 Werke, die Gustav Holst außer der bekannten Suite Die Planeten hinterließ, ist diese Fantasie über die vier alten englischen Weihnachtslieder Good Christian Men, Rejoice; God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Come Ye Lofty, Come und The First Nowell.
