1 verse of Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Here's one verse of "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella." It's note for note and without vocals, but I'd figured I'd post before the holidays pass bye too far. Enjoy.
If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.

Neat history huh!
"Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella" (French: Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle) is a Christmas carol which originated from the Provence region of France in the 16th century. The song is unique among Christmas carols in that it is in 3/8 time.
The carol was first published in 1553 in France, and was subsequently translated into English in the 18th century. The song was originally not a song to be sung at Christmas, but rather dance music for French nobility.
The carol tells the story of two milkmaids, Jeanette and Isabella, who went to milk their cows in a manger in Bethlehem, only to find the baby Jesus sleeping in the hay. The two girls ran to town to tell the village of the coming of Christ, and the townspeople came with their own torches to view the sight for themselves. However, they had to keep their voices down so little Jesus could enjoy his dreams. To this day in the Provence region, children dress up as shepherds and milkmaids, carrying torches and candles to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, while singing the carol.

Thank you for all the comments everyone.
That is an interesting history.

Very nicely played AX7221, was that timing as awkward as it seems?
Interesting history too, thanks AT.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

It wasn't so bad since I was playing if from memory, but it was in 3/4 (acutually 6/8, but that's the same thing when it's not written down) which I'm not used to, but after messing up a few times I got used to it.
