Lilhyeicoi,

Joiuh huio hyovy!
L: It's all Welsh to me ;-)
Is that right? *G* (Kid me and I gotta kid back.)

No, seriously, are you saying that what you called Van Pelt is Tempus Adest Floridum?

~S~

No, seriously, what I called Van Pelt is the tune in OBC; Tempus Adest Floridum is the original incipit/tune name of what most of us think of nowadays as the tune of "Good King Wencesla[u]s".
the tune in question (Good King Wenceslas, not Amazing Grace [i.e. New Britain] [n]or For Old Long Sine My Jo much less the one I call Van Pelt from OBC) is properly Tempus Adest Floridum
Now, did I parse that adequately? ;-)
