Sleep, Beauty Bright, based on William Blake’s A Cradle Song, captures a mother’s quiet awe and love as she gazes at her sleeping baby. Written for SSA choirs, the setting begins in unison and gradually introduces gentle harmonies and delicate countermelodies. Lean into the subtle dissonances and maintain a smooth, flowing line throughout. This lullaby invites singers to convey tender wonder, allowing the melody’s gentle beauty and emotional depth to shine.
