Opis

for SATB unaccompanied This setting of the well-known fifteenth-century text Lullay, my liking is both simple and effective. With enchanting solos and a gentle choral refrain, this tender carol will bring a moment of stillness and reflection to Christmas concerts and services.

Recenzje

Lullay my liking by Matthew Owens has the same structure as Holst's arrangement: unaccompanied with an easy four-part refrain contrasting with single melody line verses. If you have an excellent soprano soloist (and/or tenor), this would be a beautiful and atmospheric piece.
