Ye Merry Fantasy (6-Part Flex)

Arranger/Composer: Nathan Daughtrey

Item Code: 27715

Publisher: C. Alan Publications

Ye Merry Fantasy is a clever theme and variations on the Christmas carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” that takes the listener on a journey through several iterations of the popular tune, each shining a spotlight on different sections of the 6-part flexible ensemble. All percussion parts are optional, but they provide a lot of additional color to this festive arrangement!
