James Taylors refers to his song, You Can Close Your Eyes as a secular hymn, but his girl-friend at the time (Joni Mitchell, 1970/1) called it a grown-up lullaby. Musically it has been defined as the Renaissance-meets-country-folk. No matter how you define it, its popularity is best demonstrated by its many covers; from Carly Simon and Linda Ronstadt, to Sheryl Crow and Sting. This arrangement is for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. It features tight harmonies and an a cappella contrapuntal extended coda. Performance time: 3:10+
