The Songs Of Olde England, Great Britain, And Modern America

Currently Playing: Sir Edward Noel's Delight (a precursor to The British Grenadiers)

Dating from 1622 this tune was originally the theme of a Christmas carol. It then becomes Sir Eduward Nowell's Delight and is very similar to versions of the tunes All The Good Men, The London Prentice and Nancie. Sir Edward was the 2nd Viscount Campden and died fighting as a Royalist in the English (British) Civil War. #fifeanddrum #corpsofdrums #britishgrenadiers #honourableartillerycompany #17thcentury
