About Balulalow for trebles
This gentle carol expresses the tender devotion of a mother to her newborn child, focusing on the intimate moments of rocking the infant Jesus to sleep. The words, written in Scots, invite the singer to prepare their heart as a cradle for the divine baby, promising eternal praise and adoration. The composer Graham Patterson sets this heartfelt text for treble voices, creating a simple yet profound musical offering. Its focus on the manger scene and the loving care for the infant make it a touching addition to any Christmas service or concert programme.
