This is a German folk song, urging children to “Get up!” (Auf) on Christmas morning and celebrate the Christ Child. I couldn’t find more information about it, except the lyrics, which I couldn’t remember well enough to sing. However, this is a beautiful melody, and I hope you enjoy hearing it on zither, viola, and alto recorder!

I wish I could find a translation of the song, but I can’t find one!
I love this lively little melody! I can envision waking the children up early on Christmas morning while singing this song to them. Delightful.
