lumineauxThis one counts as a Christmas Tune because it discusses events that are part of the overall Christian Christmas story, and because it was written for and appears in a 16th cen. mystery play. It also seemed particularly fitting right now:
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
And ever mourn and sigh,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
And the answer is:
The Coventry Carol, which describes Herod's Slaughter of the Innocents
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
And ever mourn and sigh,
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
And the answer is:
The Coventry Carol, which describes Herod's Slaughter of the Innocents
