Subject: RE: Help: Earlier tunes of songs, carols, hymns
The tune of "Good King Wenceslas" comes from TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM (English translation: "Flower Carol") in Piae Cantiones, a Finnish (not Swedish) collection of Latin songs published in 1582 (see this site, too). MIDI is HERE. Another English version to this tune is Let Us Now Our Voices Raise.
