VOCES8: Slumber My Darling arr. Blake Morgan

While on tour here in Charlotte NC, we put together this video for Blake’s arrangement of ‘Slumber, My Darling’, which was recently released as a single, and is also on the GRAMMY ballot for Best Arrangement this year. If you want to take a go yourselves, the score is available now through VOCES8 Publishing. https://voces8.com/sheet-music/id4yc9... Text by Stephen Foster Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near, Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear, Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone, Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on. Sweet visions attend thy sleep, Fondest, dearest to me, While others their revels keep, I will watch over thee. Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest, The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed, Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm, And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm. Slumber, my darling, till morn's blushing ray Brings to the world the glad tidings of day; Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight — Slumber, thy father will guard thee tonight, Thy pillow shall sacred be From all outward alarms; Thou, thou are the world to me In thine innocent charms. ​​​​​​​​ ---- VOCES8 is the no. 1 streamed classical vocal ensemble in the world.
