Very nice! A carol not familiar to a lot of folks here in the USA.

It is Alison Krauss. Not sure about that earlier comment, unless someone thinks that Yo-Yo Ma is a "she".

I'm 74 years old, half-Irish, and I've never heard of it in my life before this morning.

Something new to learn, then.

Well, according to Wikipedia (Yeah, I know) it is a traditional Irish carol, probably dating from the 16th Century. Apparently popularized in the early 20th Century, though, by a transcription done by William Graftan Flood of a local singer.

I have sung it with several local choral groups in recent years, but did not know it before then. I believe the Brits have known it longer.

Why Brits, if it's a traditional Irish carol? I live surrounded by churches and cathedrals - hard to walk around the corner, almost, without bumping into one or the other - two of the greatest cathedral in the world are within half an hour's drive of our house - Ely and Peterborough.

Trust me, nobody hereabouts in THIS part of UK, or in my part of Ireland - the east [that includes, Co. Wicklow, Co. Dublin, Drogheda town, and much of Northern Ireland [where the Brits live] - know of it either. Odd when you consider the name,

It's very nice, though, and Alison Krause surely has the right kind of voice. Me, Id like to hear Mary Black singing it [she's Irish] or Karen Mathieson [she's Hebridean and a Gaelic speaker, too] singer for the Scottish Gaelic language band Capercaillie.

His part was slightly more complicated than the miniature cymbal part... I kept waiting for an epic solo...

But, a very nice recording overall...

Tac, I don't know the answer. I only know I've heard it on CDs of Brits singing.

In that case, it's about as native to you guys as it is to us over here in UK.

A bit like 'Stille Nacht' - German, and 'The angel Gabriel' - Basque.
