Lunar Lullaby
Words by K. Nicely. Music by J. Narverud.
This is a beautiful piece written for piano and choir. The text is a ‘dreamy’ poem written by Kathleen Nicely and describes watching a sleeping child under the moon and stars, seeing the child as celestial and not of the earth … but of the stars.
It says the moon and north star gaze upon the sleeping child’s face and that in dreaming the child returns to the stars.
See if you can hear the pretty left-hand part in the piano accompaniment, offering support and contrast to the flowing melodies that you sing.
A true choral sound is required as you learn the descriptive lyrics in this pretty and gentle lullaby…. Will your singing put a baby to sleep?
