Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Wisselton Wasselton (wassailing song
Subject: RE: Wisselton Wasselton
The text, plus another verse, can be found at several websites; though none, so far as I can see, bother to credit any source. A setting by Alan Bullard for SS(S) and piano is published by Oxford University Press (1999); it is usually available from them for a couple of pounds; the OUP site states that it is "currently reprinting", but the page hasn't been updated since March. Evidently it is number 3 of a suite of three songs, 'At the Turn of the Year.' Whether text or tune are traditional or modern I can't tell. For a few details, see
