Coventry Carol is a beautiful traditional song. It is an ominous sounding expansive melody, which sort of ingrains itself in your soul.
Coventry Carol was traditionally performed as a warning to the governments of European towns, that they not repeat the mistakes of King Herod described in the Bible. It is an ominous sounding expansive melody, which sort of ingrains itself into your soul. In late fall, many cultures reflect, and take stock of their lives and the year to come. This is a melody unmatched for such a reflection.
