Composed by Geoffrey Cottrell. Children,Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred. Octavo. 18 pages. Geoffrey Cottrell #5881. Published by Geoffrey Cottrell (A0.866288).This traditional carol is normally known set to the tune of 'Greensleeves'. But here is a new, catchy and effective setting, intended for performance by a medium to large amateur SATB chorus with organ. There is an optional innocent-sounding part for a children's chorus, but if this is not available, the part an be sung by a group of sopranos (A). Starting quietly over a repeating ground-like organ figure, the question of the title is asked by a solitary line of high voices and then answered in harmony by the chorus. The texture gradually enriches and the intensity builds. The final verse features a descant part, ending the carol with a rousing climax! This carol works very effectively in a Christmas carol concert or church service.
