Publisher Desc.  The original beauty of this traditional folk tune is maintained in this creative arrangement for instrumental solo and piano. Tasteful liberty is taken with the harmony, and occasional embellishments are added to the melody. In addition, the arrangement contrasts the upper and lower registers of the solo instrument and features both the solo instrument and piano. Originally, the tune was a secular folk song; but, with different lyrics by William Chatterton Dix and a title change (What Child Is This?), it became an advent or Christmas carol. Therefore, with no lyrics in Ron Miller's arrangement, it can be included in either category and performed anytime during the year. Each instrument set includes one piano score and one solo part, except for the euphonium set which includes two solo parts, one in bass clef and one in treble clef.
