"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is among my favorite of the songs in this collection. Notably, most of the software synths I used on this song are freeware, so it just goes to show you what you can do with free software. I like the way there are so many different themes that sound at first like completely distinct melodies, and then they all go together, and the whole structure of the song makes sense. This song is what “Christmas and Glowsticks” is all about.
