Evening Lullaby is based on the poem Lullaby by Louisa May Alcott. This poem describes nature's response to the evening and narrates how various creatures are soothed to sleep by the evening's quiet melody. When performing, please bear in mind the lilting feel of the 3/4 time signature. Placing emphasis on the strong beat (beat 1) should create the soothing, rocking motion needed for the lullaby. Within each phrase, connect the lines while performing the rise and fall of the dynamics. In respect to dynamics, be careful not to exceed mezzo-forte while always maintaining energy in the tone. Regarding the harmonic texture, be intentional to blend and balance each section with tall vowels and steady vibrato as suspensions are prevalent throughout the piece. .
