Coventry Carol

A very emotive setting of the popular carol, with four-hand (one piano) accompaniment, this really makes the most of the powerful text. On the lines "Herod, the king, in his raging, charged he hath this day...all young children to slay" the music grows dark and menacing, bringing into sharp focus the real-life drama as it occurred two thousand years ago. This will deeply affect all who sing or hear it!
