It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Noël by Arthur Sullivan) - Mark Gilston on mountain dulcimer

Mark Gilston plays Arthur Sullivan's 1874 setting of Edmund Sears' classic Christmas poem, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", on mountain dulcimer.
Sullivan's music is strongly related to a traditional tune for "The Bitter Withy", a song about an apocryphal episode in Christ's childhood.
