Christmas Lullabies - CAMPKIN, A. / FINZI, G. / MANCHICOURT, P. de / MUDGE, A. / LING, T. (Sleep, Holy Babe) (Blossom Street, H. Campbell)

Sleep, Holy Babe is a collection of Christmas lullabies which reflect the old traditions and restful, contemplative nature of the nativity story. Some works date back as far as the sixteenth century, such as Richard Pygott’s Quid petis, O Fili? from a collection owned by Henry VIII. Others are freshly composed, and many, such as Gerald Finzi’s A Lullaby, are recorded here for the first time.
