It has since become commonly known as Brahms' Lullaby.The lyrics have been translated intoEnglish by Florence Hoare and the music arranged for Male Voice Chorus (TTBB) by Percy E. Fletcher. A Piano reduction is provided for rehearsal purposes.The German composer and pianist JohannesBrahms (1833-1897) spent most of his working life in Vienna where his influence and stature were unmatched during his lifetime.
