“Good Christian Men (etc.) Rejoice” (4th century) carol - on ukulele (December 18)

Ukulele Advent Calendar - Dec. 18

“Good Christian Men (etc.) Rejoice” (4th century) carol (author unknown)

Acoustic one-take cover on concert ukulele tuned low GCEA.

Historians say this was likely first written in Latin and German (a macaronic song, like “The Boar’s Head Carol!”). The English translation many know is by John Mason Neale.

Very good to listen to. You have captured a feeling of joy and happiness. I like you use of the words ‘Christian folk.’
