GUEST,Evette, London Australian Christmas Carols (172* d) RE: Australian Christmas Carols "Voici Noel" 18 Oct 11


Hi Sue. This is 5 years later, don't know if you are still involved with organising the concerts.

I too remember this carol from primary school in the sixties. It was called "Voici Noel", although the lyrics were in English:

The crow is in the field and pasture
In woods, or else in furrows bare
The robin red, with feathered gesture
Goes hopping everywhere, biri bi biri bi ban ban!
I hear the village bell is (bells are?) ringing, ringing
'Tis Christmas time, 'tis Christmas time
'Tis Christmas, little children mine!

I remember the melody and harmony well, and can write it out on manuscript paper and email it to you if requested. My email address is evette.snow@yahoo.co.uk
Best wishes, Evette      18 October 2011
