Meaning and background

The story behind Dulci

Dulci appears in the musical title In dulci jubilo. Publisher Carus documents several choral settings under that title, including John Barnard's arrangement for choir and organ and Dieterich Buxtehude's setting of the Christmas carol. That provides a specific musical reference for someone choosing the spelling through singing or seasonal family traditions. The score listings support the title association without establishing Dulci's origin as an independent personal name.
