What did “Heinillä härkien kaukalon” (original French folk song ”Entre le bœuf et l’âne gris”) sound like in 17th century France? What about the christmas hymn “Enkeli taivaan” (original German song Vom Himmel hoch) composed by Martti Luther when played with ukulele, popular modern day instrument, and recorder, also popular but in the baroque period in Europe?
