Fum, Fum, Fum

Fum, fum, fum is a traditional Catalan Christmas song from the 16th - 17th centuries. Its composer and lyricist are unknown. "Fum" in Catalan means "smoke." One could therefore imagine clouds of smoke from a chimney of a cottage in a snowy landscape with this song. Another interpretation of "Fum, fum, fum" is, that it could be a kind of imitation of the sound of a drum or guitar. Either way, "Fum, fum, fum" is a lively Christmas song, in this arrangement in the finale featuring a motif from the well-known carol "Joy to the world".

This composition was created with the help of a contribution from the Music Investment Fund, an initiative of Buma/Stemra in cooperation with Voi(C)e, the Copyright Interests Federation and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the Netherlands.
