GOD REST YE, MERRY GENTLEMEN with CAROL OF THE BELLS – (Inspired by CHURCH ON THE MOVE) – A Medley or more basically, two songs.
The opening segment (6 min.) for Church On the Move’s 2013 Christmas
GOD REST is instrumental featuring a string orchestra with optional guitar. This is fast and furious and features a violin soloist. The second song, CAROL OF THE BELLS features a vocal duet. This is ethereal and contemplative and reflective. This begins quiet with a hemiola passage between the harp and other instruments. This does progress to a driving energy characteristic of progressive worship music.
Separate parts for three keyboards, two guitars, drums, percussion, bass, vocals and full strings.
