Sandy McIntire #720513. Published by Sandy McIntire (A0.1119104). THE COVENTRY CAROL is an English Christmas carol and Christmas lullaby from the 16th century that was traditionally performed in Coventry, England. This carol refers to the Massacre of the Innocents, when Herod ordered the killing of Jewish baby boys. It has a simple tune in a minor key using a Picardy Third which is the inclusion of the relative major chord in this case at the end of two phrases. Arranged as an INTERMEDIATE PIANO solo in the minor keys of A and F, it provides a lovely carol for Christmas services and programs.
