This ends the Christmas songs in CWB II because I have done:
274 While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks AOV 1/172
275 What Child Is This? AOV 1/165
This is a translation of the c15 century Latin text Puer nobis nascitur by Percy Dearmer.
It is set to PUER NOBIS a c16 tune.
It sounds a bit like Yankee Doodle.
Having a lot of traditional hymns to do backings for in CWB II, has meant I have looked at bit harder at getting better organ sounds and I have found a way to improve things somewhat. It’s still only BIAB fake organ though. I got the chords from the ever reliable TIS and added the bass notes from the music in CWB II to make it less dull.
This is the text in CWB II except for “boy” read “child”. CWB II also brings it down to the key of C.
