DESCRIPTION:
This piece is wonderfully lyrical from its opening line and its piano accompaniment could stand on it’s own as a solo piece. Soaring contrasts of overlapping melodies and homophonic movement make the piece a neo-romantic delight.

Audio Credit: Live performance by the See-A-Dot Music Publishing Chorus – Fahad Siadat, Conductor. Rachel Fogarty, Pianist.

Lyrics:
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me;
While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west
Under the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.

- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
