A Cradle Song (From Songs of Innocence) - SATB

Orignally for SSAA, A Cradle Song has been re-arranged for SATB mixed choir. A Cradle Song is an original choral work for choir by Nicholas Sanders. Lyrics are by William Blake from his poem of the same name from a collection of poems titled Songs of Innocence. The poem is of a mother's calming words to her newborn child. She remarks at how wonderful it is to know that the Lord was once too a weeing babe as she soothes her crying child. While not strickly a Christmas song, A Cradle Song goes well with any wintertime concerts.
