Alexander L'Estrange: Quatre Pieces: SATB: Vocal Score

Lute-Book Lullaby is the stunning Christmas anthem which first brought the music of Alexander L’Estrange to our attention at the turn of the 21st century. Commissioned by award-winning chamber choir Tenebrae this beautiful mixed-voice composition contrasts a sweet “lulla lullaby” refrain with a haunting and evocative soprano solo. The rich mysterious harmonies reminiscent of Messiaen and Howells reflect L'Estrange's early musical training as a chorister in Oxford.  Lute-Book Lullaby is part of Faber Choral Signature Series which introduces a wealth of new or recently writtenchoral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
