wayman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Here's a right somber carol, by Thomas Ravenscroft (1611), the version published in 1913's "The English Carol Book" and recorded by Jon Boden for A Folk Song A Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DYt0YGVEMI This is (as with Stannington) pretty much what Boden plays on his MacCann, but instead of Stannington's rich harmonies and lots of movement, here it's mostly extremely raw open droney chords that really suit the song. If only I were an honest tenor! As ever, this is Morse 094, my 32-key anglo. They don't write carols like this anymore, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
