In the studio album, Carols for All Seasons, Jean Ritchie includes which song that originally owns the tune Good King Wenceslas, a carol that tells the story of a bohemian king going on a journey?
Carols for All Seasons Carols for All Seasons is a studio album by Jean Ritchie. It was recorded with two classical musicians, which is not unusual for the late 1950s. The sound anticipates the slightly baroque arrangements that Shirley Collins would later use on "Anthems in Eden". As well as some often heard carols, there are some rare ones ("Dame Get up and Bake Your Pies") and four unique ones - carols that Jean had learned while she was a child in the Appalachian mountains. In particular "Cherry Tree of Cumberland" has a haunting quality. "The Flower Carol" (Tempus adest floridum) is the song that originally owned the tune "Good King Wenceslas" before Rev J.M. Neale substituted new words in 1853. It is very rarely heard. At the time Jean was the only singer to accompany herself on mountain dulcimer. This can heard on "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and "The May Day Carol". Liner notes by Jean Ritchie. The original title in 1959 was "Carols of All Seasons". It was reissued in 1997.
Happy Working Song "Happy Working Song" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz for Walt Disney Pictures' musical film "Enchanted" (2007). Recorded by American actress Amy Adams in her starring role as Giselle, the uptempo pop song both parodies and pays homage to a variety of songs from several Disney animated feature films, particularly "Whistle While You Work" from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). Produced by Menken, Schwartz and Danny Troob, the song appears on the film's soundtrack "Enchanted: Original Soundtrack."
