It's Lullay my Liking, and the version I could find to download is sung by the King's Singers. If I can find the url, I'll send it on. Erin has it right. And I just heard the Huron Carol for the first time this year.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-1166212180064149502006-12-15T11:49:00.000-08:002006-12-15T11:49:00.000-08:00Oops...

Mind meets reality...<BR/><BR/>Ok, favorite Christmas song... I do love Carol of the Bells, even though it got mangled into a terrible version on some commercial that's out right now. <BR/><BR/>I have to second Stefaneener, Lullay My Liking is a fantastic song if that is the one she meant... although I've always wondered what a mickle melody isAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-1166204491885137302006-12-15T09:41:00.000-08:002006-12-15T09:41:00.000-08:00What a Merry Christmas Tree is by a group called D...What a Merry Christmas Tree is by a group called Derek Johnson and the ReGeneration, and is from an acapella album called Christmas in Velvet. We had the record when I was a child, and it went missing several years ago. Last Christmas, I found it on an Acapella music website, and was so happy! I bought a copy for my mum, and one for myself. If you ever see it, there is some really music there. :0)Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636024853968816682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-1166150471847434462006-12-14T18:41:00.000-08:002006-12-14T18:41:00.000-08:00The french carol is called the Coventry Carol.

You can hear a sample here: http://www.amazon.com/Winter-Garden-Five-Songs-Season/dp/B000002N3H/sr=8-3/qid=1166149864/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-5870151-0816011?ie=UTF8&s=music<BR/><BR/>Here are the lyrics:<BR/>Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,<BR/>By, by, lully, lullay.<BR/>Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.<BR/>By, by, lully, lullay.<BR/><BR/>O sisters, too, how may we do,<BR/>For to preserve this day;<BR/>This poor Youngling for whom we sing,<BR/>By, by, lully, lullay.<BR/><BR/>Herod the King, in his raging,<BR/>Charged he hath this day;<BR/>His men of might, in his own sight,<BR/>All children young, to slay.<BR/><BR/>Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,<BR/>And ever mourn and say;<BR/>For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,<BR/>By, by, lully, lullay.<BR/><BR/>My very favourite Christmas Carol is the Huron Carol. It is not well known, but beautiful and haunting. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huron_Carol)<BR/> 'Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled<BR/> That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead;<BR/> Before their light the stars grew dim and wondering hunters heard the hymn,<BR/> Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria.<BR/><BR/> Within a lodge of broken bark the tender babe was found;<BR/> A ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapped his beauty round<BR/> But as the hunter braves drew nigh the angel song rang loud and high<BR/> Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria.<BR/><BR/> The earliest moon of wintertime is not so round and fair<BR/> As was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there.<BR/> The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt.<BR/> Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria.<BR/><BR/> O children of the forest free, O seed of Manitou<BR/> The holy Child of earth and heaven is born today for you.<BR/> Come kneel before the radiant boy who brings you beauty, peace and joy.<BR/> Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679747.post-1166150225984815682006-12-14T18:37:00.000-08:002006-12-14T18:37:00.000-08:00Sorry about all that White Christmas hope raising ...Sorry about all that White Christmas hope raising and all.
