Composed by Steven Monrotus. Contemporary Classical,Christian,Praise & Worship,Repertoire,Recital. Score. 6 pages. Published by Steven Monrotus (S0.429035).This work was composed for an organ with 2 manuals and pedals minimum. It would make for not only effective recital and lesson material but a place could be easily found for it in the worship service where it would be well suited to the needs of a very quiet offertory or a piece for the dedication of children. This is a tender cradle song, a 4-voice lullaby written in AABA song form, and is dedicated to the composer's brother who died in infancy. The second entry of the theme is animated at a quicker tempo and is in trio texture, introduced without modulation in the unrelated key of G Major, and switches the tune every two bars between the tenor and soprano voices. The B section which follows is truncated, haunting in its simplicity, and consists of a very short transitional passage which functions to bring about a return to the home key. Here the tempo slows down, the harmony evaporates, and the tenor and bass voices take turns soloing the first few notes of the tune inverted, one at a time. This is followed by the final return of the tune which introduces canonic imitations at the octave between the outer voices using a Celeste stop in an expressive division. The short coda has a chromatically altered final chord with a sharpened and flatted 5th 2 octaves apart before resolving, The music closes very quietly and peacefully in 5 voices employing a double pedal in the radiant home key of B Major. In this work the stretch for the hands is kept at an octave or less. Registration suggestions are included with the score. Length: 58 measures. Duration: 3:17. Composer Bio page: OrganBench.com .
