This delightful German lullaby-carol first appeared in Samuel Scheidt's 'Tablaturbuch' of 1650, though it may have been written before then, either by Scheidt himself or by an unknown author.
Four verses
J.S Bach's version (in the form of a melody and figured bass) was included in Schemelli's 'Gesangbuch' of 1736, and it is that which this arrangement for brass band by Andrew Wainwright is based on. This charming setting includes all four verses.
Although it will be a beautiful addition to Christmas concert programmes, it will also be suitable throughout the year.
