Baby Jesus was written as a follow-up to Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. The songs are simple yet colourful and the piano part has been kept easy enough for most school pianists to cope with. Percussion parts will add interest to the music and give a great sense of achievement to the players. The lyrics are uncluttered and are hence manageable for very young children and those with learning difficulties. Baby Jesus provides a versatile work into which teachers can input their own ideas. Duration: 25 mins. If you need to license a school/youth theatre performance of this product, please use the online application form.

“Lösche die Lampe getrost, hülle in Frieden dich ein” (“Put out thy lamp with good heart, lay thee then peacefully down”) – Johannes Brahms’s final cycle of secular songs for mixed choir a cappella paints a striking picture of mortality, ultimate happiness and lost youth. The 4- to 6-part songs fascinate with their immense power and range of expression, which runs from short, quiet, melancholy phrases (“breathe tremblingly forth”, “O lifeless falleth”) to elements of folk song (the horn calls in Nightwatch II) to mighty climaxes and double-choir effects produced with great economy of means. The closing movement In Autumn, with its idiosyncratic harmonies, is certainly one of Brahms’s best secular compositions.All the songs are also available separately and as digital editions. The accompanying English text is the translation authorized by the composer himself.
