Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1254006 Composed by Samantha Jellett. Advent,Christian,Christmas,Traditional. Octavo. 8 pages. Samantha Jellett #847595. Published by Samantha Jellett (A0.1254006). This is a beautiful, evocative setting of the words to the 19th Century Gaelic Christmas carol 'The Lullaby of our Saviour', which is traditionally sung at Midnight Mass in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.  Featuring a new melody and harmonies but with a timeless feel, the piece begins gently but moves towards a powerful, uplifting final section.  It is suitable for both community and professional choirs, and features an optional flute obbligato which would also be effective on other melody line instruments.

Con Spirito Music #1067324. Published by Con Spirito Music (A0.1490482). “The Christ Child's Lullaby” is an English translation of the Scots Gaelic “Tàladh Chrìosda,” a Christmas carol adapted and popularized in the 20th century from a longer work written in 1855 by Catholic priest Ranald Rankin for his parishioners at Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.Rankin’s hymn, representing a lullaby for the Christ Child by the Virgin mother Mary, was intended for performance at Midnight Mass (the first mass of Christmas) and is still sung then at churches in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland today. Titled “Tàladh ar Slànaigheir” (“The Lullaby of our Savior”) and containing 29 verses, it is altogether a lullaby, a retelling of elements of the Nativity story, and an explication of the nature and work of Christ. The English text of “The Christ Child’s Lullaby” (containing three verses and alleluias) is one of many translations, adaptations, and variants of the original Scots Gaelic text. The tune, too, is one of many variants of a traditional Hebridean folk melody. It has been further adapted and newly harmonized in this medium-easy arrangement for SATB choir and organ, featuring solo soprano on verse 1, sopranos-altos in open harmonies on verse 2, and full SATB in rich harmonies on verse 3 and the concluding “Alleluias.”Voices realized by Cantamus (https://cantamus.app/); organ realized by NotePerformer (https://www.noteperformer.com)©Copyright 2024 Todd Marchand / Con Spirito Music (ASCAP).
