The Coventry Carol Lyrics


Lully, lullay
Lully, lullayLully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
Lully, lullayO sisters, too, how may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling for whom we sing
By, by, lully, lullayHerod the King, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All young children to slayThat woe is me, poor child, for Thee
And ever mourn and day
For Thy parting [Incomprehensible], nor say nor sing
By, by, lully, lullayLully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
By, by, lully, lullay
By, by, lully, lullayLully, lullay
Lully, lullay

Irish choral music has little history before the latter part of the twentieth century. This is somewhat understandable for a country often subjugated, but with such a strong indigenous musical identity of its own. In 1987 Dublin composer Michael McGlynn founded ANÚNA, Ireland's National Choir. Much of the group's repertoire explores the relationship between traditional choral ideas in combination with the musical heritage of McGlynn's native land.
