This work is suitable for a soloist or unison choir. The accompaniment is originally scored for piano, but we have rendered it with organ accompaniment. In a liturgical setting, this work is especially suitable for Baptisms and other services that feature the use of sanctified water (healing and commemorative services). Equally, it would make a reflective motet for use during the distribution of Holy Communion. Many thanks to the Swell Vox crew in this video for beautifully performing the piece: Tony Lee, Caleb Smith, Andrew Flores, James Flores (organ).

Lullaby baby, now reclining, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Angels are watching, stars are shining Over the place where he is lying: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon will come sorrow with the morning, Soon will come bitter grief and weeping: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing, Then in the grave at last repoSing: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby is the babe awaking? Sing lullaby! Hush, do not stir the Infant King. Dreaming of Easter, gladsome, morning, Conquering death, its bondage breaking: Sing lullaby!  less

Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to Sing the misSing notes? If tomorrow were your next Life How would you spend your day today? If tomorrow were your next Life How would you spend your day today?

We Sing popular songs in at least three part harmony and add performance techniques to bring them to Life. A weekly hour and a half rehearsal begins with a Singing lesson and warm up that provides members with the vocal skills and techniques they need to Sing amazing songs from the world of pop, rock and musical theatre including songs from Adele, Take That, Erasure and many more favourite artists. The lessons are led by our experienced choir leaders who are professional performers themselves and who are skilled at teaching Singing and performance. Anyone can join! No experience necessary, there's no audition and members don't need to be able to read music - they don't even need to have a great voice - just a love of Singing!
