for SATB and piano or organ or orchestra
This sprightly setting of a sixteenth-century English text tells the tale of a jolly shepherd named Wat. With an upbeat triple metre and a joyful swing feel, this carol has imaginative, contrasting textures, a memorable refrain, and a rousing finish.
Two versions of the vocal score are available: one with piano accompaniment and one with organ accompaniment. Full scores and parts are available for purchase or hire.

John Rutter was born in London in 1945 and studied music at Clare College, Cambridge.

From 1975 to 1979 he was Director of Music at Clare College, and in 1981 he formed his own choir, the Cambridge Singers. He now divides his
time between composition and conducting and is sought after as a guest conductor for the world's leading choirs and orchestras.
