Hi! Thanks for reading my blog post. I think Britten might have thought so, and certainly that’s how a lot of choirs sing it. I am sceptical that it’s how it was pronounced when the lyric was written I.e 14th century Middle English – it would be great to have it confirmed by a linguistic historian of some sort but my guess is that it would be something between the O of oats and the OO of balloon, and that bears up against modern pronunciation too as “Yule” (Jül) is a long vowel. I’m happy to be wrong though – just not sure that “I’m right because I’ve always sung it that way” is necessarily the right answer
