A Christmas Salute is an arrangement of some well-known Christmas carols. These include Gloucester Wassail; I Saw Three Ships; In the Bleak Mid-Winter; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas; Angels, from the realms of glory; We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Past Three O’Clock. Brief references to other carols are occasionally interspersed and the opening bars of the arrangement are taken from the first notes of Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, prompting the title: A Christmas Salute
