This lullaby for large
unaccompanied SATB chorus was
commissioned by the Crouch End
Festival Chorus (UK) in 1993.
John Woolrich interweaves
various folk texts in his
lilting musical setting, which
juxtaposes the peacefulness of
sleep with moments of anxiety
and tension for the parent
whose son is far from home.
The Faber Choral Signature
Series introduces a wealth of
new or recently written choral
music to choirs in search of
fresh repertoire. The series
draws in a rich diversity of
contemporary composers and
includes both lighter and more
challenging contemporary
works, offering a thrilling
array of varied styles.
