Product Description
"Cradle Song (of Mary's Beloved)" is a 3-minute-long work for SATB choir
with either brass or woodwind instrumental solo (the solo part is
available in this download for Bb Trumpet, C Flute, Bb Clarinet, or Horn
in F).
The text, adapted from the 1901 poem of the same name by
Patrick K. OHoran, is a sweet lullaby sung by Mary, mother of Jesus, to
her "beloved little One" of the "Holy, Immortal, Ineffable Name."
In her gentle song, she promises:
"Here is thy mother
Close, dearest heart:
I shall be with thee
When shepherds depart.
Sleep, O my little Lord, darling one, sleep."
