Cradle Song

For soprano, alto, tenor and bass
Duration: 1 minutes
Year of composition: 1976
Published by Oxford University Press

This is one of three Christmas carols that I wrote in 1976, each with a single line and keyboard accompaniment. In 1996 I re-set the music for SATB chorus.

I was very attracted by the devotional simplicity of these early anonymous words which create in effect a gentle lullaby. The carol is dedicated to my brother Julian.

Duration: 15 minutes
Published by Oxford University Press

With a text by G. M. Hopkins, this work is interspersed with frequent solo passages, initially for baritone (whose delicate solo opens the piece) but later for tenor, soprano, and alto soloists also. The polyphonic choral passages provide a balance to these frequent solos, to mesmerising effect.
