@clarinop I agree, Andrew Parrott's is less breakneck!

I haven't heard this composition before, very charming, thanks for sharing
-
Excellent interpretations...However, I like the version by Andrew Parott and The taverner Consort and Choir a bit more...a little grandeur. Thanks for posting...

Probably my favorite of all the Christmas music on the Psalmody recordings. Infectiously cheerful, and hard to listen to just once. Thanks for posting this!!

A piece which is always exciting to listen to and perform - although 'Psalmody' do it a pace far quicker than is appropriate. Somehow it it is a musical equivelent of those Dickensian Christmas cards which portray coaching scenes in the snow. There are at least 300 different tunes to WSWTFBN, many splendidly-bucolic, yet all one hears in most churches at Christ-Tide are the dreary strains of this hymn to 'Winchester Old', thanks to the prudish tastes of Victorian reformers.

@baroqueman1 I don't think it's quicker than appropriate - quicker than the prudish Victorian reformers would have been comfortably with perhaps - but in terms of the harmonic progressions and rhythmic figures this tempo sits very comfortably. If you took it any slower, you'd never get to the end of it (although I realise Parrott does in his recording but you don't want to be singing the same carol for 10 minutes like some amateur choral societies do when they sing this!)
