God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen appeared in print for the first time in William Sandy’s Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern in 1833, although it was believed to have been written many years earlier. Today, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen is one of the most loved and popular English Christmas songs of all time. Italian composer and arranger Lorenzo Bocci fell in love with the delightful melody and created an arrangement that will be perfect at any Christmas concert or event.

Over de vraag of dit kerstlied uit de vijftiende of de achttiende eeuw stamt, zijn de geleerden het niet eens. Wel treffen we het voor het eerst in gedrukte vorm aan in het jaar 1833, in het gezangenboek Christmas Carols Ancient andModern van William Sandy. Hoe dan ook, dit lied behoort al vele eeuwen tot de geliefdste kerstklassiekers van het Engelstalige gebied. Ook de Italiaan Lorenzo Bocci liet zich betoveren door de prachtige oude melodie en maakte ereen sfeervolle bewerking van voor blaasorkest.

Versc hiedenen Quellen zufolge stammt dieses englische Weihnachtslied aus dem 15. oder 18. Jahrhundert und wurde erstmals im Gesangbuch Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern von William Sandy im Jahre 1833 gedruckt. Unbestritten ist hingegen die Tatsache, dass es seit langem zu den beliebtesten englischen Weihnachtsliedern zählt und auch über den englischen Sprachraum hinaus bekannt ist. Der Italiener Lorenzo Bocci ließ sich vom Zauber der alten Weise gefangen nehmen und verfasste eine stimmungsvolle Bearbeitung für Blasorchester.

La source exacte de cet hymne chrétien anglais est incertaine, cependant, il apparaît dans une anthologie publiée par William Sandy en 1833, Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (Chants de Noël anciens et modernes). Incontestablement, la sérénité et la douceur de God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen ont largement dépassé les frontières anglaises. L’italien Lorenzo Bocci s’est laissé gagner par la magie de cet ancien cantique et nous en propose un chaleureux arrangement pour orchestre d’harmonie.

La fonte esatta di questo inno cristiano inglese è incerta, anche se appare in un’antologia pubblicata da William Sandy nel 1833 intitolata Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern. La serenit e la dolcezza di God Rest Ye Merry hanno oltrepassato i confini inglesi. Lorenzo Bocci si è lasciato conquistare da questo antico canto e ci propone un caloroso arrangiamento per banda.
