Composer note:
Make We Merry is a joyous Christmas carol, the setting of which at times borders on a raucous drinking chantey. While the tunes to which these texts were originally sung have been lost to time, this contemporary setting attempts to capture the authors’ original intentions, as well as to reflect the unique poetic character of Middle English.

— Michael Gilbertson
