What Child Is This? - Old English Christmas Carol Arranged by Betsy Lee Bailey

          This hauntingly beautiful Christmas song is a Holiday favorite.  This version is arranged for Treble Voices (S.S.A.) with Soloist and Piano.  This version is essentially the same as the SATB with clarinet and flute, but in a slightly higher key and no instrument obligato.  The piano accompaniment could be used for the SATB version if the singers do not get too confused reading their parts but understanding that notes are slightly higher.  You may also want to have the treble voices sing the opening "Oohs."
