Each verse is progressively based upon an overall narrative:   1. hopes of the parent for the child   2. an easy, natural rhythm to family life, possibly the child is older now, and there is a dream of family continuance   3. uncertainty over who is nurturing who: does the child now sing to comfort the parent?     4. a closing blessing for peace and rest that hearkens back to the successful sleep of a tired infantIII.  The Drummer- An energetic reel,  a combination of Maidin Fhómhair, nó Cailín Péacach (The Harvest Maiden, or Sprouting Maiden) and Cormac Spáinneach, nó An Drumadóir (Cormac Spaineach, or The Drummer), alternating between romantic partners encased by a nostalgic love song, suggesting the passing of a lifetime.Commissioned by Cora Voce; Tacoma, WAMovements available for purchase separately.2017 Choral Contest EntryLaurie Betts Hughes, ASCAP | www.LaurieBettsHughes.com
