About "Lute-Book Lullaby (Sweet Was the Song the Virgin Sang) [Transcr. Shaw for Choir]" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

Shaw’s transcription for choir turns a lute song into a velvet hush. The Virgin’s lullaby floats above soft, pulsing chords, sweetness edged with melancholy. Every phrase is a cradle rocking between earthly tenderness and divine mystery.
