Synopsis

Rich harmonies, blues chords, and syncopation combine with the classic Chilcott sound to create a charming addition to the upper-voice repertory. The optional bass part is printed in the vocal score and also available from OUP's website as a free PDF. The pianist may improvise around the printed piano part.

MEDIA REVIEWS

For something more jazzy, choirs will enjoy Bob Chilcott's Lullaby in Blue for two-part upper voices (with divisions). Its attractive melody has a jazz-inspired, bluesy piano accompaniment, with an optional double bass part. William Blake's text, 'Sweet dreams form a shade', would certainly provide an interesting addition to a Christmas service or concert. * Gordon Appleton, Church Music Quarterly, September 2012 *
Lullaby in Blue is an elegiac, gentle blues setting of William Blake's 'A Cradle Song'. These are some serious words, and it will be an arresting addition to any programme. * Thomas Lydon, Music Teacher, June 2012 *
