Thread Name: Help: 18th century songs, tunes and carols
Subject: RE: Help: 18th century songs, tunes and carols
I don't have the French, but I do have the Huron text of the Huron Carol in my online hymnal; an index to the Christmas materials therein, by English incipit, is here. However, the Huron Carol is actually 17th century (and the tune older). I second the setting of "Shepherds Rejoice" to Boston, which Mario linked to, as well. Sadly, no Esperanto texts survive from the 1700s. Certainly "In dulci jubilo" (macaronic Latin-German or Latin-English text; arrangement by Bach in Oxford Book of Carols) would not be inappropriate.
