Sing Lullaby

A solo with choral underpinning opens this lovely arrangement of a traditional Basque carol. Employing the full range of the choir, the choral texture is nicely varied throughout, including divisi and clustered harmonies, as the text moves from reposing in a cradle to rising from the grave. Quiet statements of "Sing lullaby" serve as the central motif for both the story and the music.
