Suo-Gân (Soothing Song)

Jack Noble White has discovered a gem in this tender Welsh lullaby heard briefly in the 1987 movie EMPIRE OF THE SUN. Performance options are many in this simple, yet beautiful, setting. The solo may be sung by a mezzo-soprano or unison choir, and the accompaniment, adaptable to organ or piano, is optional. Originally written as a mother’s lullaby to her child, an alternate text makes this lovely edition suitable for Christmas as well. For use in churches or schools.
