Description
Book Synopsisfor SATB (with SAT solos) unaccompaniedLulajze, Jezuniu is a dual-language arrangement of a well-known Polish carol, presented with the original Polish text and an English singing translation by the composer. Chilcott gives the exquisite melody of this gentle lullaby, sung to Jesus and Mary, to the alto soloist, setting it above a mellifluous background of rich harmonies and gentle polyphony from the choir. Lulajze, Jezuniu has been recorded by NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir on the CD The Seeds of Stars.
Trade ReviewThis familiar and lovely Polish carol (with both Polish and English texts) is set beautifully by Chilcott - of course! The chorus parts are simple and provide a lovely blanket of sound supporting the solo verses. The alto solo takes the melody with the soprano and tenor solos providing harmony. * Philip Brunelle, American Guild of Organists Journal, Sept 13 *
