What Child is this on Youtube

Here is my annual Christmas song. It is my all time favourite. I have also made the video in my new style of scrolling chords and lyrics (I am slowly publishing all my recordings using this method). Here is the playlist of the songs I have done so far for anyone who may be interested.

I am sure it is not necessary to post the lyrics..

My favorite Christmas song ever since I was a kid.

I love what you did with this! Arrangement is brilliant, and the vocals are outstanding.

Very, very good!

This is one of my all-time favorite carols, and I like the fact that you have made it your own. This isn't a remake of any version I've ever heard. Vocals re beautiful and I like the harmonies!

I really enjoyed this! Thanks for posting!

Very nicely done Joanne. Excellent vocals/harmonies as ever, lovely guitar sound and a very Christmassy video.

I see that you now have the chords used in the song top right which will be a great help to those learning the song.

Excellent work,
Jez

I loved this, especially your accent on myrrh and the vir of virgin and when you sing with open vowels. Seems like something a Celtic lady would say (original, not Irish or Gaelic)coming out of the mist. Also I enjoyed Hello following this.

Joanne,
One of my favorite carols and you've done a beautiful job with your rendition.

Nicely done, Joanne.

I like how you ended this.

Hi Joanne,

Beautifully done!
We especially also like the karaoke video that came with it.
Rob hadn't heard this traditional yet, but it's beautiful.

Joanne,
A beautiful rendition of one my favourite carols.
Fine vocal and harmonies - and a very effective way to close.
Most enjoyable!

Beautiful Carole Joanne

Joanne,

I knew before I clicked the link it was going to be a beautiful recording of a great favorite... I was not at all disappointed.

The accapella ending was a nice touch. Including the chord progressions was awesome! Thanks!

Very nice Joanne!! You have the perfect voice for this type of Christmas classic. Feeling the spirit in me! Very nice!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Joanne

I agree with Greg.
You have the perfect voice for this type of Christmas classic.
I had often listened to this song as The Brothers Four version "Greensleeves" in my childhood.
And I also like this song played with Dorian Mode lately.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Merry Christmas to you from Japan.

Joanne,

Very pretty rendition and a lovely arrangement -nice ending (great vocal).

Joanne,

A really beautiful version... Excellent job!

Dave, Pat, Jez, Marty, Josie, Floyd, Rob and Anne-Marie, Robert, Scott, Curt, Greg, Shigeki, Peter and Bob.

Thank you each and every one of you for listening and for your kind comments. I appreciate it so much.

This community and this company has helped me grow so much over the last four years as a musician, as a singer, as a songwriter and as a producer. If you had asked me at the beginning of 2013 if I thought I was capable of producing this kind of music in my tiny home studio with only some software, a laptop and a USB mic I would have thought you were all nuts.

Thank you Peter and all the folk at PG Music. May you all have a restful holiday and a prosperous New Year.

Hi Joanne,

I agree with all those before me.... it's a beautiful song and you've done a great job arranging and performing this. I enjoyed the listen.

All the best,
Noel

Joanne, great job on a great song. Your vocal was excellent!! The video work outstanding! Thanks Torrey.

Nice, Joanne...think I'll just put this one on repeat and stare at the tree for a bit.

Noel, Torrey and Bob. Thanks so much. Glad you liked it. Bob, you crack me up!

Hey...I like that. Well done.

Beautiful Joanne!!

Well done Joanne. We both felt you brought a fresh take to this classic. Your vocal is perfect for this style. And the arrangement is superbly effective.

Nice!

J&B

Herb, David, Bud and Janice. Thanks so much for listening and commenting. Your input is always much appreciated.

For those who don't hang out at the Off Topic forum, I have started a thread there for you all to add your favourite Christmas songs to my Youtube Christmas songs playlist. Hope to see your favourites (as well as some of your own songs/arrangements) there.

Joanne,

Nice version, great vocals.
best of luck with your project

Happy Christmas

Best wishes

Alyn
