About This Song
About "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" by The Choir Of St John’s Cambridge
A swaggering old carol, all 'God rest you merry' and no 'happy.' The Choir of St John's Cambridge gives it a sturdy, processional stride, men's voices anchoring the treble sparkle. The tension: comfort in a cold season, the minor-key shadows beneath the refrain's brave cheer.
