Hi!

I've had Christmas music playing on the radio today. Do you have any favourites?

I love the familiar carols for sure, but today I heard one called 'Corpus Christi Carol' written by Benjamin Britten. The version I heard was sung by Jeff Buckley. It transported me!!!

He bear her off, he bear her down
He bear her into an orchard ground

Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away

And in that orchard there was a hold
That was hanged with purple and gold
And in that hold there was a bed
And it was hanged with chords of red

Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away

And on this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day

Lu Li Lu Lay
Lu Li Lu Lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away

By his bedside standeth a stone
Corpus Christi written thereon

Later on I found some German music online - just short tunes. Here's the site: link �?I'm not German but I am curious about other cultures, and had some fun looking at the recipes and so on.

"Frohe Weihnachten"
(Merry Christmas, I think)
