[Smt-talk] German christmas hymns.

[reinifrosch at bluewin.ch]

Dear german-speaking colleagues,
The word "eia" occurs in many German christmas hymns, e.g., in "Zu Bethlehem geboren": eia, eia, sein eigen will ich sein. Our choir has mixed opinions on how to pronounce the syllable "ei" in "eia" (like the English word "wide", or like "rain"?)  Your help will be appreciated.
With best wishes,
Reinhart Frosch,
Dr. phil. nat.,
CH-5200 Brugg.
