The Children’s Carols (Featuring What Child is This?/ Lully, Lullay, Thou Little Tiny Child). . . . . . . . . . Setting by Robert W. Smith

"The Children's Carols" is a setting of two traditional melodies often used as lullabies during the holiday season. Beginning with the beautiful What Child Is This? the work progresses through Lully, Lullay, Thou Little Tiny Child, which is perhaps better known as the Coventry Carol. The work concludes with a delicate intertwining of the mel-odies leading to a quiet and peaceful resolution." Robert W. Smith
