Berceuse (String Quartet)

Berceuse GENTLE LULLABY

FOR STRING QUARTET

2018 SAMANTHA HOGAN

Program Notes: Gentle Lullaby (nicknamed gentle Lullabea) was written as a lullaby for the ones that I care for. May your rest be peaceful and your dreams be sweet. May the wings of angels guide your journey as you sleep.

This piece recieved it's debut as part of an Easter Sunday Service when meditation music was requested as an interlude.

It works well for Religious Ceremonies, Wedding Music, as a prayer for a loved one at a Funeral, and any time your ensemble needs a quiet and calm piece to entertain a crowd at an event. You may take the repeat as many times as is needed for the event that you are playing this piece.
