Description
This is an original, slightly contemporary setting for three women's or children's voices (SMA) of the famous text by William Ballet, early 17th century. The vocal range is restricted to the most accessible notes for each voice.

1.Sweet was the song the Virgin sang,
When she to Bethlem Juda came
And was delivered of a son,
That blessed Jesus hath to name:
'Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby' (x2)
2. 'Sweet babe' sang she, 'my son,
And eke a Saviour born,
Who hast vouchsafed from on high
To visit us that were forlorn:
Lalula, lalula, lalulaby. Sweet babe' sang she,
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
