"Sir Christèmas" is a traditional British Christmas carol.[1] The song's lyrics and melody are by an unknown author, with the first record of the song in the Ritson Manuscript, dating the song to some point before 1510. WordsThe following are the opening lyrics as attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree, Devon between 1435 and 1477:[2]
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, ’Who is there that singeth so?’ ’I am here, Sir Christëmas.’ ’Welcome, my lord Christëmas, Welcome to us all, both more and less Come near, Nowell!’ ArrangementsAn early contemporary setting is that of Australian composer Arthur Benjamin, published in 1941. His arrangement is for SATB without accompaniment.[3] An arrangement was made by Welsh composer William Mathias in 1971 for SATB and organ/brass/orchestra.[4][5] A further arrangement was penned by Thomas Yeakle in 1972 for SATB, harp and woodwind, advisedly a krummhorn[6] In 1990, Derek Holman created an arrangement for the Canadian Children's Opera Chorus. This lively arrangement for sopranos and altos, flute, cello, harp, piano and optional percussion is suitable for both children and women's choirs.[7] References1. ^{{cite book|author=John Camden Hotten|title=A Garland of Christmas Carols: Ancient and Modern.
