Traditional (English)
Written in A minor, range E4 to G5
A Christmas carol that asks a quiet question by the manger: who is this child asleep on Mary’s lap, greeted by angels while the shepherds keep watch? It is sung to Greensleeves, an English tune from the 1500s; the story that Henry VIII wrote it is almost certainly a legend.
