# What Child Is This?

“Where did he come from, and why? What does his coming mean for me? What child is this?”

What Child Is This? features hammered dulcimer with bowed psaltery, guitar, recorder, and fiddle. Some of the pieces are familiar, such as “Silent Night” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” while others are new (“Fallen”) or less well-known (“The Lord at First Did Adam Make”). Together, these tunes tell a broad story of Christmas, looking back to the Fall in Eden that Christmas promises to redeem, and looking forward to Easter when that promise was fulfilled.

For more information, see WCIT Notes, WCIT Press, and the WCIT Recording Journal.
