| Description: | This is a lullaby for anyone who cannot sleep. I've been interested in sleep and dreams, insomnia and nightmares, for a long time. My text is deliberately ambiguous - is this a parent singing to a child? a lover soothing a lover? It doesn't matter, really: the point is the comforting. The middle section of the piece is stranger, more alien, subject to the odd logic of half-sleep and dreams. I've always loved the idea that at night you may sleep next to someone (you may even be holding hands, or entwined) yet your minds take off in completely different directions. You're together and yet - not. The accompaniment in the choir draws on my secret love of doo-wop and a cappella groups like Rajaton. Please note that this piece is available as a pdf download only.
