Tuba Quartet - intermediate

Composed by Traditional Christmas. Arranged by Ronald Babcock. Traditional English. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2802).

The Wassail Song is a secular holiday song dating back to the 12th Century.

It is traditionally sung at Christmas, but actually does not celebrate the nativity, rather the New Year!

The word Wassail is an olde English word for a spiced wine or ale. It was common to go door-to-door toasting to one's Good Health.

Ron Babcock's lively arrangement of about 5 minutes is inspired by Ralph Vaughan Williams and is for intermediate to advanced performers.

In Bass Clef (Treble clef parts also supplied for Euphoniums).

Glouce stershire 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.
