God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Classic Christmas Stock Photo

This is one of the oldest traditional Christmas carols. The composer is unknown but there are records of it being sung within the Christian Church as far back as the 15th century. In 1843 Charles Dickens included the song in his famous novel A Christmas Carol. This arrangement is in classic style with choir, harp, flute, and strings gives a sound much like it might have been performed in a medieval cathedral at mass in the middle ages.
