About This Song
About "A boy was born, Op. 3 : Britten: A boy was born, Op. 3: Variation 1: Lullay, Jesu" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
Variation 1: 'Lullay, Jesu' rocks with a mother's anxiety—Britten's harmony twists the lullaby into something haunted. The Cambridge sopranos float a tender line while lower voices murmur unease. A cradle song shot through with foreboding: the child sleeps, but the world outside does not.
