Thread Name: Origins: Boar's Head Carol Info.
Subject: Boar's Head Carol Info.
Being an RC raised in the US, I had never heard "The Boar's Head Carol" until I heard "Bells of Dublin". Great tune. Enlighten me: is there some sort of student/chapel voodoo that's supposed to go on with it? Do boars' heads go on sale around the yule? Does one fabricate it out of Jell-o or Spam? Can the rosemary (rosemur-eye) be overdone? I think it's time to use the same tune to write the Mudcat Carol, mispronounced Latin and all.Adeste per Horatio!
