Description:

Immerse yourself in this enchanting instrumental rendition of the beloved Christmas classic, "What Child Is This." The track opens with a tender introduction of soothing string melodies, setting a serene and heartfelt atmosphere. As the piece progresses, the genuine sound of the violin shines through in a live performance, capturing the essence and emotion of the original carol.

Building towards the climax, the composition transforms with a rhythmic and lively Celtic flair, infusing the traditional melody with vibrant energy and spirited rhythms. This dynamic section showcases the versatility and passion of the violin, creating an engaging and memorable listening experience.

The journey concludes with a graceful return to the gentle sounds of violins and flutes, wrapping up the piece with warmth and tranquility. This instrumental version beautifully blends classical elegance with Celtic charm, offering a fresh and captivating interpretation of "What Child Is This."

A history of What Child Is This? uncovers the unlikely journey of one of the world’s most treasured Christmas carols, born from the pen of William Chatterton Dix—a Scottish insurance salesman laid low by illness and depression. Out of his suffering came The Manger Throne, a poem later adapted into the carol we know today, set to the centuries-old folk tune Greensleeves, once linked to taverns, scandal, and Shakespearean plays.

The most meaningful interests of my life include: my daughter, Keira Lynn, writing my own songs, as well as singing from my soul. Music has always been the first love of my life, specifically, country music. The day Keira was born she proved, to me, that love truly is beautiful.

I have always been a songwriter and a poet, as well as a singer at heart. I can spend hours on end just sitting and writing and picking guitar or messing around on the piano/keyboard. The sound of a violin/fiddle just strikes my heart down to my soul, which is why I took up the violin at the age of twenty-one. My daughter, Keira, gives me reason to live this life every day. I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, MG, an autoimmune muscle weakness illness, in July of 2011. Keira is such an inspiration to me, making me not want to give up, even when I get so weak. She is my song that lingers into hope. Keira will always continue to be the song of my whole life.

-Song is personal –Jenn

I am huge into writing my own songs (mainly a lyricist, while picking around with chords on guitar or putting some notes together on keys on the piano/keyboard or the violin/fiddle). I have been writing for several years and have taken two-and-a-half years of voice and guitar lessons. I just have never found exactly where to place my music. I always keep the hope and the prayer that success may be within the next page of my life.

“So, I noticed today, while looking over my many songs on SoundCloud, that I have over 200 plays for my self-written, recorded song 'Now That I’m Taken'. Wow. I’m so truly grateful. Thank you to the people who have taken the time to listen to my song. And thank you to God for guiding me in the music that I so deeply and so completely and honestly love. What an honored gift. I feel so touched and so blessed.” (September 23, 2022)
