Hi there Last year in our pub session I played on H-G: Ding Dong (Branle de l'officiel) - though that might be a bit tricky for son Gaudete (medieval so played with no trompette) Angels from the Realms of Glory (Les Anges dans nos Campagnes) - the 'glory' chorus might be a bit much for him though God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen - very good on H-G as it's modal Il est ne le divin enfant - written with pipes and gurdy in mind WIllie take your little drum (Guillaume prends ton tambourin, also written with pipes and gurdy in mind) Good King Wenceslaus (tune is medieval Dutch) March of the Kings (Marche des rois, as in Carmen) - very good on H-G Most of these are in the Oxford Book of Carols Good Luck! Clare (ex-violinist)

His teacher has suggested that he plays a violin/hurdy-gurdy duet with me at a Christmas concert. Does anyone have any recommendations for a simple traditional Christmas carol that works well on the hurdy-gurdy? We have a few weeks to work on it!
