Blog December 30th Tim Downs and In Dulci Jubilo

My good friend Tim Downs, who played baritone sax in the Mustard Seed Soul Band, put this absolutely fantastic piece together – made even the more extraordinary by the fact that Tim is not very well at the moment- so here’s to a speedy and complete recovery in 2022 Tim.
By the way just for your information Wikipedia says:
“In dulci jubilo” (Latin for “In sweet rejoicing”) is a traditional Christmas carol. In its original setting, the carol is a macaronic text of German and Latin dating from the Middle Ages. Subsequent translations into English, such as J. M. Neale’s arrangement “Good Christian Men, Rejoice” have increased its popularity, and Robert Pearsall’s 1837 macaronic translation is a mainstay of the Christmas Nine Lessons and Carols repertoire. J. S. Bach’s chorale prelude based on the tune (BWV 729) is also a traditional postlude for Christmas services.
So, there you have it!!
