This upbeat Christmas song sets the traditional and well-known wassailing text to thrilling effect. To be performed 'with inebriated joy', Young's original setting is fast, spritely, and increasingly raucous, with a pleasing array of textures and an exhilarating key change to herald the start of the final climax.
