God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen arranged by Michael Huestis is a delicate and musically rich setting of the traditional English carol for percussion ensemble. Designed for developing players, this chamber-style arrangement offers musical sophistication while remaining accessible from a technical standpoint.

Scored for low A marimba (shared by two players), vibraphone, and glockenspiel, with optional chimes and timpani (with no tuning changes), the piece is also playable as a mallet quartet. This flexibility makes it a great fit for concert programming during the holiday season.

This piece ships as a fully bound score. Individual parts come exclusively in PDF format.
