Song Info

“Hey Ho Nobody Home” is a popular musical round or canon originating from England and dating back to the 16th century. There’s a version of it in Pammelia, a collection of English rounds and canons, published in England in 1609 by Thomas Ravenscroft. It also appears in Francis Beaumont‘s play “The Knight of the Burning Pestle” (see version 2 below).

This beautiful tune is sung in different languages throughout Europe and it is up to this day a favourite piece for choirs, included in their basic repertoire while often serving as a warm up song at rehearsals.

The English version “Hey Ho Nobody Home” is sung as a Christmas carol although there is no direct reference to Christmas. The other popular English version “Rose, rose…” is usually sung together with another old canon “Ah poor bird…”. As for the rest of the versions in other languages (French, Italian and German), the lyrics talk about the wind, so there is no connection to Christmas time.
