Name That Christmas Tune, day 10

[lumineaux]

Something a little challenging today:

Ding, dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

And the answer is: 

Ding, Dong Merrily on High

Ding, dong Merrily on High! I love Christmas fa-la songs. ;-)

And since I allowed myself some idle Googling after the fact - the tune is from Orchesographie? Pardon me while I rearrange some mental furniture...

Yes, Orchesographie. We dance to it, otherwise known as the 'Bransle Official' (or 'Toss the Duchess' depending on what circles (heh) you run in). :)

we used to sing that in chorus. When I was in chorus. A long, long, long time ago...
