Composed by Trad. Arranged by Mel Alexander. Christmas,Historic,Religious,Traditional. Score and Parts. 40 pages. Mel Alexander #876382. Published by Mel Alexander (A0.1285267).The Coventry Carol is an English Christmas carol dating from the 16th Century. The carol was traditionally performed in Coventry in England as part of a mystery play called The Pageant of the Shearman and Tailors. The carol refers to the massacre of the innocents, in which King Herod ordered all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed, and takes the form of a lullaby sung by mothers of the doomed children.
This setting opens with a verse of basic harmonisation, moving onto a more contrapuntal second verse, followed by a bass section lead in verse three. The final verse is tutti with a solo trumpet descant.
