Ring Holly Ships
By Terry Martin 2019 (rev.)
 
S A T B
 
 
This is a mash-up of three traditional carols: Carol of the Bells, The Holly and the Ivy, and I Saw Three Ships. The technical challenges are not severe but concentration and counting of rests is required.
-- Terry Martin
 
 
A fun holiday quodlibet for SATB, with the Carol of the Bells trying to get the last word at every opportunity. Technical demands are light, but the weaving of the ensemble can get close and need good focus to stay together. The YouTube rendition is nice and peppy, and will encourage ensembles to give this one a go!
-- Glen Shannon
