Anyone for Yuletide dulcimer lessons?
Somehow, I'd overlooked a strong Christmas medley until tonight. If you're looking for three instrumental Christmas carols performed with a wandering (or power walking briskly) through the forest quality, listen to Ensemble Galilei and Maggie Sansone's "Gloucestershire Wassail/Tomorrow Will Be My Dancing Day/The Sussex Carol" medley. "Gloucestershire Wassail" is also known as "Wassail, Wassail," which you may have heard Mannheim Steamroller perform ably. "Tomorrow Will Be My Dancing Day" segues naturally with "The Sussex Carol," due to a similar bounce in each carol's melody. If these three carols don't make you want to learn to play the dulcimer, I don't know what to tell you.
