10 Nov 02 - 05:59 PM (#822898) Subject: RE: Christmas songs for hand-drum From: Helen The Huon Carol is a lovely but simple tune, and it is (loosely) based on an American Indian rhythm. Some of the Christmas tunes from previous centuries would be nice e.g. Coventry Carol, with its very unusual melody, and some others whose names totally escape me - dang-it! The Holly and the Ivy (is that right?). I have a book buried in the depths of my music collection with some of those. I'll have to hunt them out for you. Helen |

11 Nov 02 - 07:21 AM (#823213) Subject: RE: Christmas songs for hand-drum From: Bob Bolton G'day pbb, Almost any of the songs tha Sydney Carter did on Christmas themes ... Sydney normally accompanied himself with rhythm - either a hand drum or just some folly bells on a strip of cloth (the sirt of thing you would mug a Morris man for!). Unfortunately, Stainer & Bell (his publishers) have prevented the DT from giving any of Sydney's lyrics (and thus, credit!) for reasons that seem to make sense to them. I'll look for some of his good (and trenchant) Christmas stuff and PM a couple to you. (Do you read dots - or would you prefer to hear a MIDI?) Regards, Bob Bolton |

I've got Tasmania on my mind because we are heading down there in January for a holiday. I've never been there before, although I've been to every other Oz state except Western Oz. Huon Valley is famous for apples, I think, and maybe Huon pine. Or maybe not. I'm getting a bit of Oldtimer's disease when it comes to rememereing useless facts. Helen |
