The Gracious Gift

for SATB unaccompaniedThis gentle carol sets a well-known text, 'Balulalow', that paints an image of Mary singing a lullaby to Jesus. Bullard's gentle sways and lilting rhythms reflect the story, while soft dynamics and warm harmonies create a tender quality throughout. The third verse begins emphatically, praising the 'gift' of the New Year, before finishing on a tranquil, contemplative note.
