is a delightful Burgundian tune that dates back to the 17th century. Although in a minor mode, the tune is light-hearted and frolicsome in nature. This piece is a dance that celebrates Christ's birth with "fife and drum"; and therefore it should be played with a happy heart, giving careful attention to all staccato and malleted notes.
