This work presents a contemporary musical arrangement of the traditional sixteenth-century English carol, 'Coventry Carol', designed for performance by a mixed choir and organ. The author, Antony Baldwin, utilizes his expertise in choral composition to adapt this historical melody for modern liturgical or concert settings. By providing a structured score for SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) voices, the arrangement aims to preserve the haunting, modal quality of the original while enhancing its harmonic depth through organ accompaniment.

Music directors and choral conductors frequently utilize this arrangement for its accessibility and faithful adherence to the original carol's somber tone. Experts highlight the clarity of the notation and the effective integration of the organ part as key strengths for ensembles of varying skill levels.
