Product Description
An original setting of the lyrics to the well-known carol
'What Child is This?
For SABT choir and piano accompaniment. Suitable for any
Christmas service or concert.
Composers Note
This piece was originally composed during my recovery from
CFS/ME. I was drawn to these particular words because, like me, William Dix
suffered a serious illness which strengthened his faith and inspired him to
write not just these lyrics, but many other well-known and beloved hymns and
carols.
The piece was premiered during the annual 'Carols by
Candlelight' service at our local church of St Andrews, Kirk Ella in December
2017. The choir worked extremely hard to prepare for the performance and the
piece was very well received by both choir and audience.
I am sure that your choir and audience will enjoy this piece
as much as I enjoyed working on it.
Duration approximately 4 minutes.
