Product Description
This is an original setting of a text commonly associated with a movement from Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, for use in worship or concerts at Christmas. The lilting rhythms of compound metre portray the gentle rocking of a baby's crib, clearly referring to the song's subject matter. Textural variation in the piano and choral parts provide variety in each verse. The piece is appropriate for most standards of two-part (SA) choir, or duet, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs. The accompaniment is quite pianistic but can be played/adapted on the organ. The original simple unison setting, as well as versions for solo voice, and for SATB choir, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.
Duration: 2 minutes 30 seconds.
