voicing: SA/alto solo | catalog number: SBMP 794 | duration: 5:30 | price: $2.20
accompaniment: piano, cello, dumbek

(based on a vocal setting by Norwegian performer, Knut Reiersrud) The song is a lullaby, that universal culture of feeling shared between mother and child. Accompanied by a cello, the piece opens with a hauntingly beautiful solo sung in the original Arabic (a transliteration is in the score.) The piano joins and then the choir, singing first the theme about international peace in English, then moving on to the Arabic. A listen to the recording will quickly demonstrate the intrigue of this piece.

accompaniment: piano

This piece can do well on its own merit, or it can be joined by two others in a unique Shakespeare Suite, each piece being for a different voicing. To perform all three, divide the SATB choir, the women getting their turn first with Sigh No More Ladies; next the men perform Take, O Take Those Lips Away; and finally all join in with It Was a Lover and His Lass. Clever writing abounds for both the voices and the piano. Add a bit of staging to make the performance extra special.
Errata in tenor part: Ms 37 and 78 the triplet text should be "ring a ding"
