After the success of our Star Trek Medley project, and with a carol-service-less Christmas fast approaching, Dayna and I decided to try this format again with a medley of some classic Christmas carols. Along the way “some” became “all” and I had a great deal of fun weaving as many excerpts as I could into the texture. By my count there are 21 carols referenced in just six minutes, including a fughetta on Gloucestershire Wassail and as many as five simultaneous carols during the finale!
