Magnificent...... I do remember a version that is more of a lullaby ..mother to son....that was extremely beautiful. I wish I could find that version because the Lyrics are entirely different, though the arrangement remains the same.

I really love this particular version of the "Wexford Carol" with Yo-yo Ma and Allison Klaus. Good people all, this Christmas time,Consider well and bear in mindWhat our good God for us has done,In sending His belovèd Son.

Here's the full traditional lyrics. Alison K. just does 1, 3, 4, and then 1 again.So lovely.The Wexford Carol1Good people all, this Christmas time, Consider well and bear in mind What our good God for us has done In sending his beloved son With Mary holy we should pray, To God with love this Christmas Day In Bethlehem upon that morn, There was a blessed Messiah born 2The night before that happy tide The noble Virgin and her guide Were long time seeking up and down To find a lodging in the town But mark right well what came to pass From every door repelled, alas As was foretold, their refuge all Was but a humble ox's stall 3Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep To whom God's angel did appear Which put the shepherds in great fear Arise and go, the angels said To Bethlehem, be not afraid For there you'll find, this happy morn A princely babe, sweet Jesus, born 4With thankful heart and joyful mind The shepherds went the babe to find And as God's angel had foretoldThey did our Saviour Christ behold Within a manger he was laid And by his side a virgin maid Attending on the Lord of Life Who came on earth to end all strife 5There were three wise men from afar Directed by a glorious star And on they wandered night and day Until they came where Jesus lay And when they came unto that place Where our beloved Messiah lay They humbly cast them at his feet With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
