GUEST,Tracie Tune Req: Pre-1700 winter & Christmas tunes, pls (57* d) RE: Tune Req: Pre-1700 winter & Christmas tunes, pls 08 Oct 11

I know you've got your program pretty much set, but here are some tunes I like to play, either in consort or solo:

-- The Old Year Now Away Has Fled (to Greensleeves) This is one I like to invite the audience to sing (lyrics in the program, minus the circumcision verse) because they already know the tune. Good for a finale. Sing with feeling -- it's mostly about parties and liquor.
-- Nutmegs and Ginger
-- Hey for Christmas (to Dargason)
-- Heigh ho Holiday (Holborne)
-- Hollis Berry (also Holborne)
-- Sweet Was the Song (Lute Book Lullaby) from William Ballet lute book – in Oxford Book of Carols, among other places.

Your concert sounds like fun. Love your photo.
