Arranged in the keys of concert F and Bb, this setting for developing bands is specifically designed to reinforce the clarinet technique of moving fluidly across the "break." The melody moves from 6/8 to 2/4, offering opportunities to teach meter change and metric modulation.

Here We Come A-wassailing (or Here We Come A-caroling), also known as Here We Come A-Christmasing, The Wassail Song and by many other names, is a traditional English Christmas carol and New Year song, typically sung whilst wassailing, or singing carols, wishing good health and exchanging gifts door to door.

​I Saw Three Ships is a traditional and popular Christmas carol and folk song from England, and was particularly popular in Cornwall. The earliest printed version of "I Saw Three Ships" is from the 17th century, and remains an often covered and recorded holiday melody.
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.



I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

O, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
O, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas Day in the morning
