Coventry Carol on Mountain Dulcimers

[birdycatlady]

This is a very pretty version. I appreciated all the details about the tuning; didn't realize that dulcimers could be tuned to the different modes. Someday I would like to learn to play the dulcimer ... You have a nice voice too :)

Thanks Birdy...I encourage you to not let someday be too far away.

Merry Christmas

[dholeton]

Thank you...It appears Coventry Carol has a wonderful history from where it began in the 1500's in England. It comes to me every year at this time.

more phyrigian yay!! Love it love it Your voice goes so well with this mode. Forlorn , innocent and mysterious all at the same time.

Thanks Nancy...It is a sad song but one I am drawn to play every holiday season. When I first started trying to play it on dulcimer, I couldn't play all of the notes. Tuning to Phrygian mode was an accident but it worked.
