Leeneia did well to recognize it through all the cheese. A bit simpler:

Yes, it is. I like to play it on my fretted dulcimer.

If you like that one, you might like a hymn tune called Hyfrydol. It too has a lilt to it. It's Welsh, 19th C, I think.

You can find hymn tunes by their tune name at the Cyberhymnal. I suspect the MIDI you heard at the Cooley site came from the Cyberhymnal. It just sounds like how they do it.

That is a Dutch tune, 18th C., called 'In Babilone.' It has been borrowed for quite a few hymns.

It's a cheesy midi, but a beautiful tune on this site. What is it?
