Original

CRADLE SONG composed by Francis Osentowski. For SATB. 21st Century,Christian,Sacred,Christmas. Advanced Intermediate. Score. Published by Francis Osentowski. S0.35297. Cradle Song is a brand new composition that’s perfect for the Christmas season. It was inspired by a text from the great 18th century English hymn writer Isaac Watts. In addition to 700 hymns, Watts wrote Joy to the World and is considered the father of the English hymn. In my piece I used a few of the most attractive lines from Watts' "A Cradle Hymn" including, “Heavenly blessings without number, gently falling on thy head,” and omitted those referring to “Horned oxen, cursed sinners and burning flames. ” Cradle SONG incorporates “lush” modern harmonies and attractive piano interludes. Pianists may recognize subtle references to Chopin’s famous Prelude in D-flat, the “Raindrop Prelude. ” To me, “raindrops falling” helped paint an emotional picture of heavenly blessings gently falling on the Christ child. Comfortable vocal ranges and modern harmonies are prepared by careful voice leading to make the music “sing-able” by young choirs through advanced ensembles. Cradle Song is available in multiple formats besides SATB, including SAB, and Two-Part Treble for small choirs or two soloists. Digital Print is printable sheet music available anytime, anywhere.
