Why is “Corpus Christi Carol” included on Grace?
Jeff included this cover of the Benjamin Britten piece as a gift to his high school friend Roy Rollo from Long Beach, California. Roy had introduced Jeff to the work of the composer. “The “Carol” is a fairytale about a falcon who takes the beloved of the singer to an orchard. The singer goes looking for her and arrives at a chamber where his beloved lies next to a bleeding knight and a tomb with Christ’s body in it. My friend Roy introduced me to the song when I was still in high-school and now I’m singing it for him.
