According to ethnomusicologists - and contrary to popular belief - this tune was most likely NOT written by Henry VIII, although that makes for a good story - which wife would he have been thinking about? This is the tune that was later made into the sacred Christmas song "What Child Is This?" You may indeed find yourself melting while playing this one, so keep towels & a phone nearby just in case...
