Though Frederick Delius was in no sense a man of traditional religious beliefs, the distinguished composer and organist Derek Healey has imagined the sound of a Christmas carol he might have written, and given us Sleep, Holy Babe!, a delightful unaccompanied SATB setting of Edward Caswall's classic hymn. The result will delight all lovers of Delius's music, and not least those who wish to add a dash of his unique style to this year's Christmas festivities. A slow and expressive lullaby, Sleep, Holy Babe! adds a different nuance to each of the four verses, reflecting their changing moods. In turn, sopranos, tenors, basses and altos have solo roles, and together create a richly Delian sonority that stays well within the technical range of an average choir.

This wonderful hymn for Eucharist was crafted with an eye toward the specific needs of the Communion processional. Both the tempo marking and strict rhythm move the piece along with stately grace, while the memorable refrain makes it possible to process and sing without the aid of a hymnal. The text consists almost entirely of images inviting contemplation of the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. While orchestral and choral elaboration is available, the composition can also be sung unison, with the assembly on the refrain and a cantor singing the verses.

A reflective and plaintive setting of a familiar spiritual, spotlighted by a bass solo and dramatic a capella choral writing. Here is music that is memorable and compelling.

Using an old English carol, Michael Joncas has composed a modal anthem, hinting at the text’s origin. The use of soloists is optional. The heartwarming story reveals, perhaps, why we continue to link the stork and newborn babies to this very day!
