Description
This carol belongs to the genre of folk variations on Lutheran hymns: the original hymn, with a text mostly by Luther, is Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ. After being translated into Estonian, the text eventually became separated from the melody and gave rise to new tunes. This particular tune comes from the island of Kihnu off south-west Estonia.
