Riassunto

for SATB and piano or chamber orchestra
This gentle setting of the traditional Welsh lullaby features a new English text by David Warner. An alternative Christmas text is included.
The story depicts someone at the end of life who is asking to be led into eternal life. The altos sing the text of the hymn, while the sopranos, tenors, and basses accompany them on "oo." Accessible for most church choirs and suitable for performance throughout the year.
An accompaniment for chamber orchestra is available on hire.

Recensione:

The harmonies are as lush as the melody will permit, and the effect very pleasing. (The Journal of the Assocation of Anglican Musicians, May 2009)
