Yesterday my good friend Stephen Nasby, whose work I have fea­tured here before, posted an inter­est­ing piece of music he and his musi­cal fam­ily put together. I quote from his Youtube description:

I was work­ing on an arrange­ment of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” for me, my broth­ers, and my Dad to per­form at a wed­ding, when who should pop in the stu­dio… the Chipmunks (or a rea­son­able fac­smim­ile thereof). They were kind enough to record their own ver­sion of the song; but, don’t be too picky about their pitch, they could only do one take

This is a really neat, classy arrange­ment of the clas­sic Christmas carol. And may I men­tion for the record that I pre­fer these Chipmunks to the recent film adap­ta­tion… Listen and enjoy.
