The Coventry Carol

Pause Music!

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.

The words and lyrics of the' Coventry Carol ' were written by Robert Croo in 1534 for the traditional Coventry Plays and included in the Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors Guild which depicted Herod's slaughter of the innocents. The composer of the music is unknown but is also believed to date back to the 1500's. Henry Ramsden Bramley (1833-1917) and John Stainer (1840-1901) were the first to attribute the Coventry Carol Lyrics which they included in 'Christmas Carols New and Old' in 1878.
Our grateful thanks goes to Eric Halstead for giving his kind permission to play his self sequenced midi file of this superb piano rendition of this Christmas Carol.

That is a lovely old carol. I like old carols as well. I listen to Christmas music all year 'round.

One of my new favorites in the way of carols is by a modern composer named Charles Ives. It is a little over a hundred years old. It is called "A Christmas Carol." (Little Star of Bethlehem)

Another one of my favorites is also "Gesu Bambino."
