Published by Clifton Allen Davis Music, ASCAP (A0.927259). A contemporary art song, for low voice and piano. Consonant harmonies and lyrical vocal writing convey the poet's gestures. While traveling in Sligo, Ireland, to celebrate a wedding anniversary, the composer purchased a copy of William Butler Yeats’s collected poems. In between hikes and other adventures, he began a series of choral settings of five of Yeats’s poems. In A Cradle Song, the piano gently rocks back and forth as the singer ruminates the aging of the child who is going to sleep.
