An arrangement of the traditional English holiday carol The Boar’s Head Carol for TTBB quartet or chorus, arranged for Kaleidoscope Quartet.

The boar's head in hand bear we,

bedecked with bays and rosemary,

And we pray you, our masters, be merry,

Quot estis in convivio.

Caput apri defero,

Reddens laudes Domino.

The boar's head, as I understand,

Is the bravest dish in all the land,

Which, thus bedecked with a gay garland,

Let us servire cantico.

Caput apri defero,

Reddens laudes Domino.

Our steward hath provided this,

in honour of the King of bliss,

which on this day to be servèd is

in Reginensi Atrio.

Caput apri defero,

Reddens laudes Domino.
