MFE's Winter Song Playlist

It is December 7, the 7th day of the Holiday Countdown brought to you by Evertote / Roxy Floss Co / Modern Folk Embroidery, and the 5th video by me in this series.

The song that I bring you today is a melody that I composed using a lyric that I found in Edith Rickert's 1914 book "Ancient English Christmas Carols 1400-1700". I loved the words of this song, and in particular the wassail element appealed to me.

AS I SAT UNDER A SYCAMORE TREE

As I sat under a sycamore tree,
a sycamore tree, a sycamore tree,
I looked me out upon the sea,
A Christmas day in the morning.

I saw three ships a-sailing there,
a-sailing there, a-sailing there,
The Virgin Mary and Christ they bear,
A Christmas day in the morning.

He did whistle, and she did sing,
she did sing, she did sing,
And all the bells on earth did ring.
A Christmas day in the morning.

And now we hope to taste your cheer,
taste your cheer, taste your cheer,
And wish you all a Happy New Year,
A Christmas day in the morning.

Thank-you so much Jacob for your videos! I love your music so much. I find it very soothing to stitch to. I love everything about including the peaceful snowflakes. I enjoyed videos too where you discussed Christmas albums and the favorite museums!!! Thank-you so, so, much for such a beautiful pattern! It’s been so fun stitching a piece everyday. I am a little behind but I am loving the stitch and the experience so very much! So a huge thank-you!!

Wow! Jacob, again what a beautiful song! If Loreena McKennitt still resides in Stratford Ontario, she's barely an hour away from London!

Oh thank you so much for sharing your musical arrangements, your lovely voice, and the history of the Christmas songs chosen.
You made a pop Christmas song lovers into a classical appreciative listener (mind you I still hold close to my old soul Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby lol).
Also thank you so much for introducing Loreena McKennitt, both my husband and I want to acquire her albums… how wonderful to make us discover a local (Canadian) artist also appreciated in Europe.
Love your version of Flossmas ❤
Cheers from Eastern 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦
