God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, without a doubt, is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. When I was browsing David Nevue's sheet music page, and saw his arrangement of this song, I just knew I had to play it! I love the drive and passion behind this piece, and it is something I will play again and again.
I wanted to record this song for you all, but making it happen was harder than I expected. When I finally found time to sit down at the piano and record it, it didn't go as well as I wanted, and I ended up recording about 6 different takes, none of which I was happy with. I was a bit discouraged (tempermental musician, eh?), and almost decided I didn't want to release it, but, I gave it a final go, and am very happy with how it turned out! Usually, when working on a song like this, mixing is the struggle for me, not recording. This time it was the other way around. Mixing was a breeze!
Overall, I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out, and I hope you enjoy this unique and somewhat untraditional arrangement of this beautiful Christmas hymn!
God bless and have a very Merry Christmas!!
Blessings,
