about

This carol is probably not the one you think it is from the title! This carol was written by the poet, composer, school master and all round polymath Richard Furness (1791-1857). It is one of our favourites to sing, and one we sang at school under the supervision of Joanna Mackey, as well as round Foolow. Richard Furness wrote several of the carols sung in different villages in the Peak, he apparently wrote one a year for at least thirty years, but only about eight survive in the tradition. The first two verses have always been sung in Foolow, but the second two were published in The Poetical Works Of The Late Richard Furness (the only carol to appear there), so we sing four verses where we can because we love it. The symphony is played here by Rowan Piggott.
