Sleep, Holy Babe is a unique choral collection of 17 works based on the theme of The Nativity. At its heart lie nine Christmas lullabies, as well as two carols and a motet depicting the story of Christ’s birth. These are framed by a pair of Advent antiphons and Magnificat settings, and an Epiphany carol.

This book includes:

  • Five new pieces commissioned specially for this anthology and eight recently-composed works
  • A variety of texts covering a range of themes including: the Lullaby, the Baby Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the Star in the east, the Shepherds, the Magi, the Nativity scene, and King Herod
  • New settings of well-known texts such as: The Coventry Carol, Lullay my Liking, and Sing Lullaby.
  • Two ‘O’ antiphons (in four and six parts) by Pierre de Manchicourt (1510–1564) and two contemporary faux-bordon Magnificat settings (in four and eight parts)
  • Two pieces for three-part upper voices (SSA), one unaccompanied, one with harp (or piano) accompaniment, and a three-part piece for lower voices (TTB)
  • 14 unaccompanied pieces, and three accompanied pieces, scored for organ, piano, and harp (or piano)
  • Piano reductions, included for unaccompanied titles, as an aid to rehearsal
