| Added by alastair-lewis, 18 Dec 2013 "Ding Dong Merrily on High" is a Christmas carol with an ancient history. The tune was first published in 1589 by Jehan Tabourot (1519–1593) in his "Orchésographie" (a book about 16th century French Renaissance social dance). The tune appears under the title "Branle de l'Official". The English composer George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848–1934) added the lyrics and the carol was first published by him in 1924 in his "The Cambridge Carol-Book: Being Fifty-two Songs for Christmas, Easter, And Other Seasons". Woodward had an interest in church bell ringing, and this undoubtebly aided his writing of the lyrics. Sheet central : | Ding Dong Merrily on High (53 sheet music) | | |||
