Robert L. Cathey Ringing in the Holidays for 4 C Flutes, Alto Flute, and Bass Flute. Cathey fashions a Christmas medley for flute choir of 4 C flutes, alto flute, and bass flute on four familiar tunes. After a bell-like opening annnouncement, the flutes play a brief passage of Here We Come a-Caroling before moving on to Alfred Burt’s Caroling, Caroling and the popular Ding Dong Merrily On High. Carol of the Bells brings us to the conclusion, which cites passages of the previous melodies.
