Added by douglas-brooks-davies, 10 Dec 2013 An SATB arrangement of a typical nineteenth-century Austrian yodelling carol (from Steiermark). This is great fun to sing - either at the tempo suggested, so that the words may be savoured, or as fast as the singers wish (perhaps it would be an idea to ’la’ and yodel a fourth verse at speed!) Its joyous leaps and assured major-key tonality make it an utter contrast to the Polish carols on my site. A lovely addition to any carol programme, and one that is hardly known outside its homeland. |
