About Deck the Halls:

According to Wikipedia (July 2023) Deck the Halls dates back to 1862 and may be found in Volume 2 of Welsh Melodies, authored by John Thomas (1826-1913). Welsh text here is by John Jones and English text by Thomas Oliphant, a Scottish musician. Not surprisingly, the 1862 English text centered around drinking, with phrases like:

Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, (Don we now our gay apparel)
See the flowing bowl before us, (See the blazing yule before us)
Laughing quaffing all together, (Sing we joyous all together)

Lyrics in this arrangement appear in the December 1877 issue of the Pennsylvania School Journal which no longer includes references to drinking.
About this Arrangement:

A duet version of this brief, delightful and fun-to-sing arrangement is the basis for this SATB arrangement. My wife and I have been singing the duet version as long as we can remember (and thats well over 50 years!) So, when our caroling quartet needed a rousing piece to use, the solution was clear.
