Based on the tune CRADLE SONG, this wordless piece (the choir hums over lush accompaniment) was written as underscoring for a reading of the Nativity story (Luke 2:1, 3-14). In the tradition of incidental music, this piece may be used in a variety of ways: as a processional, as a transition between other works, or as background for spoken words and images. Chamber orchestra parts are available on rental.
