Gloucestershire Wassail is associated with an English custom that was observed at Christmas time. A large, decorated bowl of spiced ale was hoisted through town by a group of carolers---Yule serenaders---in a tradition that has its roots in the beggars of the Middle Ages and Pagan festivals. The tune is therefore associated with Christmas revelry and joy. Gloucestershire Wassail probably dates from the 18th century, and is considered a traditional English tune. This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar), rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment, strives to include all the players in the music making, particularly by distributing the melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

An adventurous and unusual work for Saxophone Quartet by John Harle. Composed fopr the Myrha Quartet, the piece was first performed on BBC Radio 3 in 1980. The music follows a pitch centre progression, moving gradually from low to high using chromatic clusters surrounding each pitch. Sporadic solo passages, differing in character to the rest of the piece, are used to punctuated the music with cadenza-like solos from each Saxophonist in turn, making this an exciting and challenging work for all players involved. This title is the score.
