What Child Is This? by Anonymous
What Child Is This? pairs lyrics by William Chatterton Dix with the traditional English tune Greensleeves. The carol took its familiar form in the nineteenth century, joining a new text to an older melody. That pairing gives the hymn its old-world shape. The question in the title feels intimate, while the melody carries the weight of something already remembered before the words begin. The selected catalog source adds Vince Guaraldi Trio to its title, while the frozen artist field is Anonymous. The source title alone does not establish which recording or arrangement the score follows.
