Now available for men's voices this loving and dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The text is a classic by Rudyard Kipling: Oh! Hush thee my baby the night is behind us And black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us At rest in the hollows that rustle between.

From the composer Eric Whitacre: Over the past six years I must have read Goodnight Moon to my son a thousand times maybe more. Somewhere around reading number 500 I began hearing little musical fragments as I read and over time thosefragments began to blossom into a simple sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot but we contacted the publisher to see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed - the first time they had everallowed Goodnight Moon to be used in such a way. I composed the piece relatively quickly setting the text for harp string orchestra and my wife soprano Hila Plitmann. It has become one of my sons favourite songs; now Hila sings it to himbefore bed nearly every night. This arrangement is for high voice and piano accompaniment.
