Lullaby Songs Hold A Special Place In My Heart

Through a reasonably random set of circumstances, this evening, I stumbled upon the lyrics to an old Welsh lullaby… “All Through The Night”. (see below)

That song has a very special place in my musical life. It was the very first song I ever received a “1” for in solo vocal competition.

If you’re not familiar with school music competitions, a “1” is actually the best score you can get. Once I got that score…my life as a singer was sealed in diamonds.

My eighth grade choir director spent hours of her personal time working with me. She taught me to use my breathing diaphragm in a way I have always used since then. And I’m sure her care and attention to vocal details got me going. She gave me the zeal to train for 10’s of thousands of hours. Singing and loving every minute of it.

Stay tuned,

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,

Angels watching, e’er around thee,

While the moon her watch is keeping

Angels watching ever round thee

Though I roam a minstrel lonely

Hark, a solemn bell is ringing

Music by Edward Jones…Lyrics by John Ceiriog Hughes circa 1784
