@John-Turner  - thank you very much, John, for your very kind comment - I am happy that you like it.

I wish you "good luck" for your playing it at your local folk club.

One of my most favourite Christmas songs, especially by the boy choirs of Germany and Austria etc. I'll be learning this one on my Dulcimer's for this Christmas at my local folk club.

I like playing " The German National Anthem " Haydn I believe !? Sounds lovely on the dulcimer. Thanks for the inspiration Ariane. Lovely played !

Merry Christmas for you!

One of my very favorite seasonal tunes!  We in America know this of course as "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming".

Exquisite arrangement, Ariane... especially that last part.  

Beautiful!!!  Very soothing music and visuals.  Merry Christmas, Ariane!

Thank you very much, Terry - I am very happy to read your kind comment.

Wunderbar!

                   Laß warm und hell die Kerzen heute flammen,
                   die du in unsre Dunkelheit gebracht,
                   führ, wenn es sein kann, wieder uns zusammen.
                   Wir wissen es, dein Licht scheint in der Nacht.
