Par ANDRE ARNESEN KIM. Cradle Hymn, a Christmas lullaby with imagery of Mary and her infant, was written for the Nidaros Cathedral Girl's Choir and conductor Anita Brevik in 2010, and later arranged for SATB and TTBB chorus. The Lyrics were written by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). This arrangement was written by Christian Aftreth Eriksen in 2021, commissioned by Bunberry High School, Australia. It is scored for large concert band, but is playable for smaller forces through clever cross cuing: Eb clarinet, Contrabass Clarinet, Baritone Saxophone, Contrabassson and Double Bass can all be considered ad lib. All Oboes, Bass Clarinet, Bassoons and all Horns are cross cued. A Soprano Saxophone part is provided to cover the Oboe solos, and should only be used if no Oboes are available. The choice of Vibraphone or Marimba is left up do the conductor. Vibraphone will provide more resonance in the ensemble, if needed. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

An abundantly versatile composer Peter Foggitt in A Christmas Lullaby tunes in to the spirit of minimalism that has inspired so much remarkable music since Tavener Górecki and Pärt discovered a new gift to be simple in their ground-breaking works of the 1970s and 1980s. To the nativity scene painted in words by John Addington Symonds the unchanging-changing chords of the limpid accompaniment for Organ or Piano bring an aura of rapt intensity and communion. With the clarity of an icon this is a cradle song for an infant king who is also the Prince of Peace and a child in a manger and a study inexpressive and disciplined singing for SATB chorus.

For solo piano. Written in 1965 to celebrate the birth of the composer's first niece, Jane Ann. Lullaby (or Cradle Song) is cast in ternary form, and whilst the simple melodic outline and gentle 6/8 rocking rhythm of the first section may suggest the world of other nursery rhymes, the middle section suggests a slightly different one ? that of Romantic piano music of an earlier period, with its lush textures and melodic sequences. The return of the opening music, this time in varied guise, leads to a peaceful and hopefully sleep-inducing ending!

Music for Sleep is among the very earliest stage works by Birtwistle composed when he taught music at schools in Wiltshire and Dorset.The performing notes say that Music for Sleep was designed to be played and sung by children. Choices are offered among wind instruments but instructions for Percussion instruments are very specific. It is a poetically evocative work in which Birtwistle is already playing with formal structures.The lullabye texts are extremely varied. Cradle Song uses text from the 16th century poet brothers James John and Robert Wedderburn. Lullabye on a Ground was written by poet A P Graves father of poet and classicist Robert Graves. Nocturne waswritten by Wordsworth.
