The medieval German Christmas carol Joseph Lieber, Joseph Mein comes from the cradling scene of a 15th-century mystery play. It gently sways in 6/8 time, mimicking the feel of rocking an infant. These five variations for piano explore a wide range of moods familiar to every parent. In the carol, Mary asks Joseph to help her with their child, and almost like a thoroughly modern man, Joseph eagerly agrees to rock the baby. These variations are most appropriate for the Christmas season, but also in Catholic communities that observe St. Joseph's Day on March 19.
