Description
"This arrangement presents the challenge of singing a familiar lullaby with freshness and a tender sound quality that is well supported. Take great care in the opening to energize the E natural pedal point. The middle section (mm. 22–52) is intended to be dream-like, with cascading images of horses that are moving quickly then gradually slowing their pace. The ritardando is built in; singers should focus on being absolutely rhythmic with the 8th-note pulse. The last page is the place to be luxurious with time, and to enjoy the final hum fading into silence." -Ellen Gilson Voth
