Yes indeed! I just learned this one (to sing, that is, not to play, though I have played it), and it's lovely. Another wonderful traditional Irish carol is "D'on Oíche úd i mBeithil," and that works well on the whistle too.

All of the other instruments I mentioned are being played by other people. I'm playing the flute part on the sop whistle.
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's just that rather few people play the bass sax. Lots play baritone sax, though. I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same instrument. Here's comparison:
Bass saxophone; don't ask me why it's sideways.
Bari sax; not small, but certainly smaller than the bass.
Whoa! Now that's a trio of saxy men! Wowza!

Go to the nearest used bookstore, check out the ancient books in the religion section, find an old hymnal, buy it for about 50 cents, and learn to play all the carols in it. Don't be afraid to move up higher for your starting note if the tune doesn't sound right.
