Lullaby, Sleep
The simplicity of the lyrics of this carol, an adaptation of a Polish lullaby, Lulajze Jesuniu is coupled with a simplicity of form and melody in this beautiful, elegant setting.

A suggestion is to have a cantor sing the first verse, followed by unison choir (or section) singing the second verse, and then repeat the entire piece using the SATB harmonization and the addition of descant in the final verse. If desired, the descant line can be played on any C instrument.
