Is it the clarinet of the oboe in the Arabian dance in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite?
The solo near the end of the movement is the oboe, but it does end with a lovely clarinet/tambourine duet.
Would need to know WHICH solo you reference: at letter "D" - near the end - there's a plaintive, mournful solo for English horn. The piece does end with interplay between the clarinet in its chalumaux register and tambourine, but I think the answer above - referencing the oboe - is actually incorrect: that is an English horn near the end of the movement, as per Tchaikovsky's original score of the entire ballet. (And I should know - I'm currently conducting the piece for at least the 10th time in concert!)
Who is the composer of Sweet Little Jesus Boy?
This Christmas song was composed by Robert MacGimsey (1898 - 1979) and published in 1934.
According to William Simon, editor of the Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook, Robert MacGimsey wrote this carol after walking past crowded speakeasies in New York City on Christmas Eve, 1932. Intended as an art song, it became one of many quasi-spirituals. Most recordings take liberties with the lyrics, some adding entire verses.
This song should not be confused with "Sweet Little Jesus Child" written by Percy Bady (copyright 1996) and performed by Kim Rutherford (found on the 1996 CD "The Real Meaning of Christmas").
See William L. Simon, ed., The Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook. Pleasantville, NY: Readers Digest Association, revised 2003.

Swallow, tell me, you whisper about? was it your old husband, with whom you built your nest, or have you just recently entrusted yourself to him? Tell me what you twitter about, tell me what you whisper about in the mornings, so confidentially? Eh? You haven't been a bride for very long, have you?
