We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Piano Solo)
A simple piano arrangement of the song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Listed as numbers 230 and 9681 in the Roud Folk Song Index, the famous version of the carol is from the English West Country.
The Bristol-based composer, conductor and organist Arthur Warrell (1883–1939) is responsible for the popularity of the carol. Warrell, a lecturer at the University of Bristol from 1909, arranged the tune for his own University of Bristol Madrigal Singers as an elaborate four-part arrangement, which he performed with them in concert on December 6, 1935. His composition was published by Oxford University Press the same year under the title "A Merry Christmas: West Country traditional song".
Warrell's arrangement is notable for using "I" instead of "we" in the words; the first line is "I wish you a Merry Christmas". It was subsequently republished in the collection Carols for Choirs (1961), and remains widely performed. For my version, however, I was thinking of the word "We."
