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.
