We sang this Basque carol in choir practice last night and it will be our introit this Sunday.

 

Sting recorded this some years ago, and many people think he wrote it.

Nope. He popularized it, but it was written by Sabine Baring-Gould and set to a traditional Basque tune.Sting popularized it, though, and there are lots of recordings now.
