Oh, what fun it is to find a forgotten Christmas piece by Gustav Holst! Written in 1910 for his students at Morley College, this piece is a set of variations on 'In dulci jubilo (Good Christian Men, Rejoice)' with interwoven portions of 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen', 'The First Nowell', and 'Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly'. A charming piece for your holiday concert!
