Composed by Henrik Dahlgren. Christian, Christmas. Octavo. 12 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1518. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1518).8.27 x 11.7 inches.
A calm and gentle Christmas song, to be sung like a lullaby. Commissioned by the Swedish male voice ensemble Svanholm Singers and their conductor Sofia Söderberg.
The composer writes:
"In this piece I have used a melody from the 15th century as my main compositional element. I started improvising with the main theme in my mind and ended up rocking two chords back and forth, as a lullaby. /…/ For me, the image described in the lyrics, a mother singing her newborn baby to sleep, became a sad story considering that she is a refugee having to deliver her baby in a stable. The ending features a solo humming. A sad image of Mary singing for her baby, trying to bring some comfort to him in the only way she can.".
