About "Stopford: Lully, Lulla, Lullay" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Stopford's 'Lully, Lulla' is a lullaby with a shadowâthe Coventry carol's slaughtered innocents. St Paul's Cathedral Choir rocks the text in a cradle of close harmony, the soprano solo a mother's whisper. The tension: sleep against slaughter, beauty as a shield for grief too vast for words.
