1. A classic tune like this, written by Benjamin Britten, should not become too associated with Jeff Buckley, regardless his great interpretation. But he is neither the composer nor the only one to record the carol. There are numerous interpretations in the "classic" field. So I suggest to shorten the Buckley Reference and to leave out the Grace-Cover-pic. 2. To me it is not clear a) if there were earlier compositions than the one of Britten, b) there is a „rumour“ that the song is from the work „A boy is born“, but then again I could not find in in that work (only on choral compilations). Googeling didn’t bring answers for thousand pages refer to Buckley.

I understand your point completely. As the person that set up the infobox, I'll mke it clear that I was just trying to get an infobox for each of the songs, and I did actually think about the fact that Jeff was just one of many musicians who've covered this carol. After seeing the same thing with Hallelujah (song), which I undboutedly believe would've deserved a higher reference on its page for it's influence, more than this song-and yet it hasn't so much-I'll see what I can do to change it. I think the main reason I put Buckley as main was so that the track listing links would work smoother.G.AC 18:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

right now there are two versions of this page, this one, Corpus Christi Carol, and Corpus Christi Carol (Jeff Buckley). This needs to be consolidated. Possible options are: merge, or, use a disambiguation page and maintain two pages. Thoughts? Dissolve 07:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I have just given a reason for deleting the second one, which would not be appropriate unless there is specific evidence that this particular song is notable. the infobox on this one is in any case inappropriate, and I have just removed it. If the specific rendition is notable, and you have references to prove it, remove the excess duplicate material from the other article. DGG (talk) 01:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
