Digital Tradition Mirror

This is pennywhistle notation for the song, automatically produced by an experimental program.

This notation is pretty simple; dark circles mean covered holes; empty circles mean uncovered holes; a '+' below means to blow harder to get the upper octave; a '#' below means this note is too low for the whistle chosen and you'll have to fake it :) The author of this program always plays accidentals by closing holes, so you'll never see half-covered holes.

When I was starting, I found notation like this to be very helpful, and I know plenty of people who have trouble reading music who find this notation easier. Good luck!

Here We Come a Wassailing (2)

Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green
Here we come a-wandering so fair to be seen

  Love and joy come to you and to your wassail too
  And God bless you and send you a happy New Year
  And God send you a happy New Year

We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door
We are your neighbor's children whom you have seen before

God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too
And all the little children that round the table go

various  wassail  songs  sung by  Watersons  Calendar,  Langstaff
Revels, Ritchie Carols, John & Tony Second nowell
