    A moving setting of the classic American lullaby. Good for developing singers, but also a good choice for some lovely unison singing with more advanced ensembles. The students we arranged this for absolutely loved it. We hope your choir does too.

The subject of the unfaithful lover is perhaps as old as song itself. “She’s Like the Swallow” is […]

They also performed the piece on their pre-Christmas tour, using just organ for accompaniment. The […]
