Golden
Slumbers is based on the
poem Cradle Song from the
Thomas Decker 1603 comedy
Patient Gissel. The poem
was set to music by Peter
Warlock in 1918 as a
lullaby. Carl Strommen
pushes the beauty and
lyrical nature of the
song in his arrangement.
There are interesting
changes in color and
texture with good use of
solo instruments to
contrast the full
ensemble statements. A
perfect vehicle to teach
phrasing and musicianship
to developing
musicians.

Golden Slumbers should be
treated as a lullaby with
the following lyric as a
guide:Golden Slumbers,
Kiss your eyes, smiles
awake you when you rise,
Sleep pretty maiden, do
not cry. and I will sing
a lullaby.
