Product Description

"Slaap nu mijn Jesuke" is a tender Dutch lullaby that beautifully captures the peaceful atmosphere of a Christmas night. Composed around 19361938 by Carel Jacobs (19091980) and the lyrics, originating from an anonymous author in old Dutch, offer a gentle invitation for the infant Jesus to fall asleep.

The title translates as "Sleep now, my little Jesus" depicting a serene scene where angels softly rock the baby Jesus to sleep, while the moonlight quietly slips through the window. The recurring refrain, "Douw, douw, Jezulijn" imitates the soothing motion of rocking a child to sleep.

Musically, the lullaby features a delicate TTBB choral arrangement complemented by a soprano solo, emphasizing its intimate and calming character. Its timeless charm stems from its simplicity and universal themes of peace and comfort, making it a beloved piece during the Christmas season both in the Netherlands and beyond.
