Product Description

Cradle Song (Two-Part Choir) is a brand new composition thats perfect for the Christmas season. It was inspired by a text from the great 18th century English hymn writer Isaac Watts. In addition to 700 hymns, Watts wrote Joy to the World and is considered the father of the English hymn. In my piece I used a few of Watts' most attractive lines including, "Heavenly blessings without number, gently falling on thy head," and omitted those referring to "Horned oxen, cursed sinners and burning flames." Cradle Song incorporates "lush" modern keyboard harmonies in attractive piano interludes. Pianists may recognize subtle references to Chopins famous Prelude in D-flat, the "Raindrop Prelude." To me, "raindrops falling" helped paint an emotional picture of heavenly blessings gently falling on the Christ child. Comfortable vocal ranges and many unison lines make the two-part treble version "sing-able" by young choirs and even two soloists. Cradle Song is available in multiple formats including SATB, SAB, in addition to this Two-Part Treble for small choirs.
