One of my favorite carols of all time is based on yet another Medieval tune, “Tempus adest floridum” (“It is time for flowering”), a 13th-century spring carol. As Alexandra Petri wrote in The Washington Post, where she chose it as her #1 out of #100 Christmas songs, “This is a GREAT song. I never tire of hearing about the only semi-impressive good deeds of this medieval monarch. He made the sod slightly warm! Hooray! Good for you, King Wenceslas! All the rhymes work! Every word is satisfying to sing! WENCESLAS! ON THE FEAST OF STEPHEN! DEEP AND CRISP AND EVEN! What a rollicking, hearty song. WENCESLAS! All songs should be like this. I wish we sang this song year-round.”
