I missed the turelurelu, thinking it was from the Irish lullaby.

I had no idea "Noel" has ever been spelled any other way. <BR/><BR/>And in the last two minutes, all the lyrics to "Patapan" have come flooding up from the recesses of my brain: <BR/><BR/><BR/>Willie, take your little drum;<BR/>Robin, bring your fife and come, <BR/>When we hear the fife and drum,<BR/>Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pata-patapan,<BR/>When we hear the fife and drum,<BR/>Christmas shall very joyful be. <BR/><BR/>God and man are now become<BR/>Like as one through God's own son,<BR/>When you hear the fife and drum,<BR/>Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pata-patapan,<BR/>When you hear the fife and drum,<BR/>Dance and make the village hum!<BR/><BR/>It's actually a lovely song, an onomatopoeic-- with the flute and drum being "sung." <BR/><BR/>~~Angie, who listens to a LOT of Christmas music . . .Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745389922246602752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-71248905613082598922007-12-16T14:15:00.000-05:002007-12-16T14:15:00.000-05:00Wait--it just hit me!

I can't think of a single Christmas song that has turelurelu in it!<BR/><BR/>And we have old songbooks that say Nowell, too - I think it was an Old English way of spelling, as opposed to the French Nowel.<BR/><BR/>http;//carrie.homeschooljournal.netNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-10942957271041513132007-12-16T13:21:00.000-05:002007-12-16T13:21:00.000-05:00I missed two--92%.

Regarding "Nowell" vs. "Noel", I think you must be very young, Angie, since my family's Christmas Songbooks from my childhood spell Noel the long way!!! Granted this spelling has not been in print for decades.
