Ajoutée par bernard-dewagtere, 21 Aoû 2017 The "Coventry Carol" is an English Christmas carol dating from the 16th century. The carol was traditionally performed in Coventry in England as part of a mystery play called The Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors. The play depicts the Christmas story from chapter two in the Gospel of Matthew: the carol itself refers to the Massacre of the Innocents, in which Herod ordered all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed, and takes the form of a lullaby sung by mothers of the doomed children.

I like this setting very much, but I believe that the part for the Bb clarinet in bars 46 to 60 has not been transposed. It needs to be 1 full tone higher and the key signature should be D major. the passage sounds alright as written if played by a C instrument, but not for a Bb one.
