voicing: SA | catalog number: SBMP 1282 | duration: 3:10 | price: $2.80
accompaniment: piano

In two parts except for one cadence, this is an exquisite piece that can appeal to treble singers of all ages. The imaginative text tells of the “celestial child” up there in the stars. A piano part in constant motion offers support and contrast to the flowing melodies of the singers.

Lunar Lullaby

The moon settles in the dusky sky.
The gentle eyes of the north star
rest upon your sleeping face
and the heavens gaze upon you.

In this moment, I know;
You are not from the ground on which you tread,
but of the stars.
You are my radiant, my celestial child.

As night is drown’d by morning
you remain at my side,
accompanying the sunrise
until night swells again across the sky.

Then, dreaming, you return to the stars.

by Kathleen Nicely

"I simply love this piece. Worked on it today in preparation for a couple of reading sessions and it warms my heart and makes me fall in love with the beauty of good music for treble voices."
