Lyrics
What child is this,who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping.

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Nice
Very original! I liked this arrangement, but I'm a sucker for backward
stuff!

Haunting
I'm with Jim on this - very original. Excellent singing, playing and
arrangement. I was especially struck by the tension built up by the piano
section in the second half.

Love it!
Great track, Katie! I really like the reverse piano sounds (is that what
they are?) at the beginning. Brings to mind the reversal that the
Incarnation really was -- the Master Of The Universe choosing to take
on a human nature and come into this world as an infant.

Those reversals remind me of "Roundabout" by Yes, around 1972.
Starts out with a long piano reverse note in the low register.

Wonderful concept and execution.
