  • Set to the beautiful tune of "Greensleeves", "What Child Is This" is one of my favourite traditional Christmas carols. The tune dates back to (at least) 1580, with the lyrics for "What Child Is This?" being written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865. I hope you enjoy my rendition; Happy Holidays!
