We Wish You a Merry Christmas is a traditional English carol with no named composer. Folk archives list it as Roud 230. Dr Ian Coates of the University of Bristol suggests that its roots lie in the West of England, perhaps in Somerset in Tudor times. The version most people sing today traces back to Arthur Warrell, a Bristol musician, who wrote it down as an arrangement in 1935 under the title A Merry Christmas. The University of Bristol, which holds his papers, believes this was the first time the score was documented. His version opens with the line I wish you a merry Christmas, singular, not the we of the title most people use now. The University of Bristol Madrigal Singers performed Warrell's arrangement on 6 December 1935, and the BBC Chorus sang it on radio in December 1940. Reviews from the time suggest that the carol was unfamiliar to audiences outside the West Country. Warrell was awarded copyright in the arrangement in 1939, the year he died. Classic FM says the carol is thought to date to the sixteenth or seventeenth century. The verses wish the household a merry Christmas and a happy new year, then ask for figgy pudding and say the singers will not leave until they get some, a request made in return for the good wishes they bring to the door.
