Description:
Two Famous Carols is a duo of cherished holiday carols in wildly diverse styles. 'What Child Is This?,' composed in 1865 by 29-year-old William Chatterton Dix, begins with the beautiful sound of a solo horn, while 'We Three Kings,' composed by reverend John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in the mid-1850s, is presented in the style of a jazz-waltz. A holiday potpourri!
