Dutch Christmas carol sung in an English translation by the dwsChorale
(Also known as King Jesus hath a garden)

It is a version for mezzo, alto and bass.

Lord Jesus hath a garden full of flowers gay,
Where you and I can gather nosegays all the day:

Refrain:
There angels sing in jubilant ring,
With dulcimers and lutes,
And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes,
And gentle, soothing flutes.
And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes,
And gentle flutes.


There bloometh white the lily, flower of Purity;
The fragrant violet hides there, sweet Humility:
(Refrain)

And one thing fairest is in all that lovely maze,
The gard'ner, Jesus Christ, whom all the flowers praise:
(Refain)

O Jesus all my good and all my bliss! Ah me!
Thy garden make my heart, which ready is for thee!
(Refrain).

Improvisation by the dwsChorale

A silly a-cappella number based on an idea from an old epigram Scylla is toothless. 
Scylla becomes a vintage headmaster in this version but the results are similar.

My old headmaster hasn`t got one tooth
But he had teeth enough back in my youth
He told me off then every single day
But now his tongue has worn his teeth away!

Original unattributed epigram dating from about 1640
On an old Scold
Scylla is toothless, yet, when she was young
She had both teeth enough and too much tongue.
What shall we, then, of toothless Scylla say
But that her tongue has worn her teeth away?

Performed by the dwsChorale The silver swan, who living had no note, When death approached, unlocked her silent throat; Leaning her breast against the reedy shore, Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more: “Farewell, all joys; Oh death, come close mine eyes; More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.�.

Composed by Thomas Weelkes (1576-1623)
Sung here by the dwsChorale (just verse 1)

Four arms, two necks, one wreathing,
Two pair of lips, one breathing.
Fa la la la la la.
Two hearts that multiply
Sighs interchangeably.
Fa la la la la la.
