@shadetail "Greensleeves" was the original song. They changed the lyrics for "What Child Is This". "Alas my love, you do me wrong, to cast me off discourteously..."

@optimisticautiously alfred deller is a countertenor. this beautiful vocal range can only be surpassed by castrati, young men who'd been castrated before puberty and trained to sing. Their lung capacity was much greater than a woman's

The reason you might have trouble understanding it is because your mind is looking for certain words such as "Greensleeves was all my joy". But this is not "Greensleeves", if you listen closely you will figure out it is english but its a song about Jesus.



The most beautiful performance of this wonderful folk song, I dare to say!
