Murray on Saltspring Rorate Coeli desuper (9) Rorate Coeli desuper 10 Dec 06


The words of "Rorate coeli desuper" in the Oxford Book of Carols are by the great Scots makar Dunbar, set to "a little-known Scottish melody". The identification of this unnamed tune has bothered me for years. Any ideas? I did think it was maybe a descant on a well-known tune like Corn Riggs, but that doesn't quite work.
