PATRICK HAWES
Lullay My Liking
for unaccompanied Alto, Tenor, Baritone & Bass
Written for The Porteous Brothers, Christmas 2021.
Duration: circa 3 minutes
I saw a maiden sitten and sing: She lulled a child, A sweete Lording
Lullay my liking, my dear Son, my Sweeting; Lullay my dear Heart, mine own dear Darling.
Eternal Lord is He That made alle thing; Of Lordes He is Lord, Of every King He’s King.
Lullay my liking . . .
Angels sang that night And saiden to that Child
“Blest be Thou and she That is so meek and mild.”
Lullay my liking . . .
Pray we now to that child, As to His mother dear, God grant His blessing now To all maken good cheer.
Lullay my liking . . .
Words: adapted from Lullay My Liking, trad. 15th century.
Composer’s Note
The original 15th century English text has been slightly shortened and adapted to provide the basis for this simple but atmospheric carol. The Virgin Mary sings the Infant Jesus to sleep, conveying the love and devotion of a new mother, and the choir echoes her words in the form of a tender lullaby.
