Thread Name: Lyr Add: In dulci jubilo
Subject: RE: Good Christian Men, Rejoice
This most famous of monolingual English versions of "In dulci jubilo" is in the DT, where it is correctly attributed to John Mason Neale:

Good Christian Men, Rejoice

The "News! News!" line is the result of a misreading of the notation in the version (from Piae Cantiones?) Neale was working from.
