Duhhhhh...du...du...duhhhhh...Aibu to ask you what this carol is?

[Infinitynose]

I heard a choir sing it. Its pretty popular and been in xmas adverts a few years back. It has words but I cant remember them. I think the notes are e... d e c..., e..... d e b....
Can anyone guess what it is?

[Hygge]

Carol of the Bells?

[ThruUlikeAshortcut]

Silent Night, Holy night, all is calm, all is bright.......?

[FreiasBathtub]

I think it's Carol of the Bells as well. Is it in 3/4 time, OP?

[Hygge]

is Carol of the Bells, and I'm sharing it even if I'm wrong because it's lovely

[Infinitynose]

Well done Hygge! Just you tubed it and its Carol of the bells! Cant believe you guessed!

Thanks Thru for your effort too

[Sighing]

Carol of the bells? Sprung to my mind too

[Sighing]

Too late! It's lovely, in lots of stuff too.

[Infinitynose]

Freias, you too! I'm so impressed you guessed!

[Shakey15000]

I got it from your thread title and funnily enough, it's one I asked here about two years ago

[BertrandRussell]

Damn- I just went to play those notes and came back to tell you what it was and I was beaten to it! NOT FAIR!

[Hygge]

Glad I could help, it's lovely isn't it?

[Infinitynose]

It is lovely! I'm so pleased that so many managed to guess!

[ThruUlikeAshortcut]

Well done - I would never have guessed that one didn't realise it was a carol

[LaContessaDiPlump]

Yay, my first deliberately chosen Christmas song for the year

[Infinitynose]

I don't know if it is a 'carol'. I know its not a pop song!

[FlysInDreams]

I love this one:

[Infinitynose]

I love that one too but didn't know the name. Can anyone recommend a good xmas CD for this year?

[Raahh]

I always remember it from the Home alone soundtrack. I think as a Christmas song, it is more popular in the US than here.

[DinoSnores]

I got it from the thread title too!

[DinoSnores]

Although I have to say, how on earth did you know this?!

"I think the notes are e... d e c..., e..... d e b...."

Do people just know these things?

[Infinitynose]

I took a few piano lessons as a kid! I was impressed with freias is it in 3/4 time?

Went right over my head!

[Hovis2001]

I took a few piano lessons as a kid!

I have played various instruments for years and could not in a million years guess the actual notes of a piece of music if I didn't have it in front of you. Perfect pitch, OP?! Not envious.

[Infinitynose]

Oh this has warmed my cockles! I often hum to my friends to see if they can help me find the name of a song. I'm a notoriously bad hummer!

[LittleMissGreen]

The choir singing above are Libera they have a Christmas CD... (Not as good as some of their non-Christmas stuff in my opinion but not bad)
