Phillip Stopford's beautiful carol of lament uses the words of the 16th Century Coventry Carol which tells the story of the 'Massacre of the Innocents' by King Herod. The simple rocking melody and beautiful harmonies express the sense of loss felt by a mother for her doomed son.

Sung at Carols by Candlelight, December 2017 in St Giles' Church, Camberwell, London. www.musicatstgiles.com
