We Wish You a Merry Christmas is a traditional English carol from the West Country, dating back to around the sixteenth century. It began as a wassailing song, sung by carolers going door to door — which is why the famous request for figgy pudding still turns up in every verse.
This jazz arrangement wraps that cheerful greeting in swing — easy-going swing rhythm and warm harmony that make it a treat for singers and a smooth backdrop for a class party or a family gathering. Sing along with the Love to Sing choir and keep the good wishes going.
