Descripción:
The original tune is set in F major using traditional harmony. The suspensions are set at words which reveal tension to be resolved, which I have not always done. The tonal structure is of a modified strophic design (A-[A]-B-A) in five verses.
The textual structure is curious and even novel for that era. The A- (A)-B section of each verse makes 'mixed' use of the words. Yet, the ends of the last 'A' sections contain only three words or three syllables.
Thus, 'give my heart' sounds strangely empty on first hearing. However, it makes the structural beat pattern consistent. Yes, the rhyme scheme is A-B-C-B-D-E-F-E. Also, I have purposefully used all five originalverses so as to obtain full, glorious, Christmas storytelling!
What gift can I give to the Christ Child? If the midwinter snow fully covers up all my transgressions, only to have them revealed again in spring, then I will give The Christ Child my contrite heart to balance the wager of my soul! -James McCulloughDuration: 4:30
