Publisher Desc.  Polyphonic arrangement of the famous Austrian Christmas Carol and lullaby. The melody is a folk tune (authorship unknown) from the State of Salzburg. The tune appeared for the first time in 1865 in a folksong collection of Maria Vinzenz Suss (1802-1868), founder of the Salzburg Museum, it has changed slightly over the years but remains attributed to Georg Gotsch. As played by the Original Drachenfelsermusikanten. Big fun to play! Not difficult.
