Title Herod's Raging (A Grieving Christmas Carol)
Artist Jennifer Iorio
Composer Jennifer Iorio
Arranger Jennifer Iorio
Description Based on a traditional work, Herod's Raging (A Grieving Christmas Carol) is a lullaby carol of grief that is sung by mothers and fathers in the Biblical account of the Massacre of the Innocents. Herod’s raging, as recorded in the Bible, transforms scripture into a haunting musical drama, capturing the terror of wrath. Its sorrowful tones echo throughout the song. As a carol, it becomes a powerful lament—both dramatic and deeply sad.
Lullay, hast cried no more my child,
And silence evermore.
For on that day, childen be slain.
And mournful tears, the brave.
