Tunes, please. My early music duo, The Night Watch, is planning a winter / Christmas show featuring mediaeval, renaissance and early baroque songs and tunes on the theme of winter and Christmas, with a latest date cut-off point of about 1700. We have plenty of songs but could do with a few more tunes for the show. We are looking specifically for tunes that mention frost, winter, Christmas, etc. I have trawled Playford's Dancing Master and found only Drive The Cold Winter Away (which we'll sing the song of, as it was a 17th century broadside). So we'd be most grateful for any tunes with wintery names, as long they are before around 1700. The web page for one of the shows is here
