This is the hearts of the Dulsomer Podcast. I'm Patricia Delic. Together with my husband, Wayne Jiang, we explore the mountain Dulsomer's past, present, and future. To celebrate this winter season, we wanted to offer a special winter holiday episode with only wintery seasonal music.
From contemporary jazz folk original to holiday staples and medieval music, these tunes are joyous, reflective, and capture the essence of winter. Listen to them after a meal with your friends and family, or use them as an end-of-the-year reflection. From tunes that make you want to dance to tunes that are calming, they're wonderful to listen to while looking out your window to the winter landscape. You're hearing a tune written in the 19th century in Cornwall, England called The Holly Bears of Harry.
Played by Linda Brockington, this tune was from her 2006 CD, an old-fashioned Christmas on the Mountain Dulsomer. You can purchase the CD on the mixed-baden Dulsomer's website. In this episode, you'll be hearing music from Linda Brockington, Heidi Mueller, and Bob Webb, Lance Rodgium, Jack and Mary Geiger, Mark Gilston, Jessica Como, Bing Fudge, and the Trio Appalachia. We'll only be playing a portion of each tune, partly because we'd like to fit more music into our standard episode time.
Also, we'd like you to buy the entire song from the artist if you hear something you like. In between the tunes, we'll let you know where to buy the music. These Dulsomer players are keeping the Mountain Dulsomer tradition alive and growing. Please support their musical efforts.
Next on our list is Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day. It's an old English carol that may date back to the Middle Ages. This lively tune is played by Heidi Mueller and Bob Webb. It's from their 2011 CD, Like the Winter's Dark.
You can purchase their CD on HeidiMolar.com. Tomorrow shall be my dancing day. I would my true love did so chance to see the legend of my play. To call my true love to my dance, sing oh, my love.
Oh, my love, my love, my love. This have I done for my true love. Then was I born of a virgin bird. From her I took fleshly substance.
Thus was I knit to man's nature. To call my true love to my dancing. Oh, my love, my love, my love, my love. This have I done for my true love.
The first two tunes were from the UK. We're now heading over to France with two French carols played as if they were played on a French ethernet. But we're actually played on a Hungarian citra. Similar to the ethernet, both instruments are relatives of the Mountain Dulsomer.
Bring us a torch, Ilanet, is played by Lance Frotchum on the citra, and Sylvia Hackathorne on Mandolin and Whistle. This tune is from his 1996 CD, Christmas Hearth. You can purchase the CD at LanceFrotchum.com. Following Lance's tune is Angels We Have Heard On High, played by Linda Brockington.
Just heard Lance Frotchum play Bring Us A Torch Ilanet, followed by Linda Brockington playing Angels We Have Heard On High, from her CD and Old Fashion Christmas on the Mountain Dulsomer. You can purchase Linda CD on the McSpadden Dulsomer's website. Next up is a traditional Irish ballad that gives us the feeling of longing. When those we love are far away or leaving.
We'd like to dedicate this tune to those who have loved ones far away. It's called 10,000 Miles and is played by Jack and Mary Geiger. It's from their 2000 CD, Woodmills. You can also purchase a CD on the McSpadden Dulsomer's website.
Oh, fairly well. My only well for a while. I'm going home. But I'll go 10,000 miles.
And thousand miles. And thousand miles. And all walks well. And the CDs will burn.
Should I not? Here's the well-known traditional Hanukkah song that celebrates the festival of lights. Called Hanukkah O Hanukkah, it's played by Mark Gilston and is a personal recording he shared with us for this episode. For Mark's music, go to markgilston.com.
There's a large body of secular Swedish Christmas songs that are usually sung and danced with groups of children around a small decorated tree. Some have folkloric or seasonal references. Many are about animals. Others are more akin to Brother Goose Rhymes and Children's Entertainment songs.
Mark Gilston brings us a Swedish Christmas medley that joins for the most popular of those songs. And these tunes would be familiar to almost any person who grew up in Sweden. This Swedish Christmas medley can be found on Mark's 2013 CD called Christmas with Dulsomers. You can purchase a CD on markgilston.com.
This next tune is an original composition for the ancient prayer known as the angelic salutation or the almeri. This beautiful tune has a wintry feel to it. The angelic salutation is played and sung by Jessica Como. It's from a 2015 CD called Songs of the Earthly Pilgrimage Medieval and World Folk Music on the Appalachian Mountain Dulsomer.
You can purchase the CD on jessicacomo.com. Old Christmas Morning is an Old West Virginia Fiddle tune. It commemorates the original January 6 celebration of Christmas, which was until recently, observed by many people across the Appalachians. The custom was likely brought over by the Scots-Irish immigrants who settled in West Virginia.
The tune is usually played much faster. Heidi Muller likes to slow it down to bring out a deep, woodsy ancient feeling. Played with her husband Bob Webb, Old Christmas Morning is from their 2011 CD, Light the Winter Stark. You can purchase the CD on hidiemuller.com.
We wanted to include this beautiful old cowboy song from 1890 for those who live in the desert or on the prairie. It's called Night Herding Song and it's played by Jack and Mary Geiger. It's from their 2000 CD, Wind Meals. Again, you can purchase this CD on the mixed-baddened Dulsomer website.
Following Jack and Mary's tune is a holiday favorite that needs no introduction and is played by Bing Futch. Oh slow, up doggies quit robing. You've wandered and trampled all over the ground. Grey's along, little doggies and feet kind of slow.
Don't always be on the go. Oh slow, little doggies move slow. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh. I've circled her dead, trail her dead, night her dead too.
But to keep you together is all I can do. My horses lay weary and I'm a fool. If you get away I'll be fired. Bonch up, little doggies, bonch up.
Hey, hey, hey, ho. You just heard Jack and Mary Geiger play Night Herding Song, followed by Bing Futch playing deck the halls from his 2008 CD, Christmas each day. You can purchase Bing CD on Bing Futch.com. Here's a tune for those who live in Snow Country.
This contemporary jazz folk original is played by Appalachia, a trio that blends the Mountain Dulsomer with the Banjo in the Erhu. The Erhu is a two-string, bowed fiddle-like instrument from China. You'll be learning more about Appalachia in a future episode. Jeff Berman, the composer and Dulsomer player in the group, said that the percussion sounds remind him of big wet snowflakes dropping from the sky into the trees and on your head.
The tune is called Snow on the Buddha and is from their 2015 CD called Cargo. You can purchase the CD on Appalachia.com. This concludes Episode 20 of the Hearts of the Dulsomer podcast. Special thanks to Linda Brockington, Heidi Muller and Bob Webb, Lance Frojum, Jack and Mary Geiger, Mark Gilston, Jessica Como, Bing Futch and Appalachia for sharing their music with us for this holiday episode.
