Lovely, Pete, but that's not the Coventry Carol.

Okay, a quick Google search and it seems to be a reworking somehow


It sounds nothing like the Coventry Carol though.

It’s the words with a new tune

it’s the Coventry carol remastered

Are you allowed to remix hymns?

Are you allowed to remix hymns?

Only since Jesus got the rizz.

Though that may just be a beige flag.

When you do it as well!!

He’s just used the same words. Is it just me that thinks it’s stunning?

No, but if you used the lyrics from Wham's Last Christmas and put it to a different tune, it wouldn't be Last Christmas would it?

That's what's bugging me.

I do love the piece.

I love it. Just wasn’t aware we could remix hymns.

That’s a great carol and a real link to medieval belief systems

We still have medieval belief systems.

I have the City of London Choir's traditional arrangement of it on my Christmas playlist.
Beautiful.
While this reworking is very well done, it's just not the real thing.
