Added by kheidtmann, 21 Dec 2023 This Christmas carol is part of the Kilmore Carols. The “Kilmore Carols”, also called the “Wexford Carols”, actually consist of two collections and the famous “Enniscorthy Carol” (Wexford Carol). The earlier collection, consisting of 11 songs, two of which are still sung in Kilmore today, was written by Bishop Luke Waddinge and was published in 1684. Father William Devereux's later collection also contains 11 songs published in 1728. Both collections were composed to Irish folk tunes that were popular at the time. |
