Cradle Song by Harvey Grace
Dear listener,
The best compliment I can give for this music is - exceptionally beautiful. In the middle I can hear birdsong. I hope you like the outcome when I’m trying a magical registration to this music with Organteq.
Harvey Grace (1874–1944) was an English organist and music writer. He was a chorister at Romsey Abbey, studied under Madeley Richardson at Southwark Cathedral, and became Organist of St. Mary Magdelene, Munster Square, London. He was editor of The Musical Times and a noted author and adjudicator. Grace was appointed Commissioner of the School of English Church Music in 1937, and resigned at the end of the year. He joined the staff of Trinity College of Music in 1939, and also acted as Organist of East Grinstead Parish Church during World War II.
"Ten Compositions," which are in two volumes, were published by Schott & Co. in 1922. "Cradle Song" is the second piece in the collection, and is dedicated: "For Molly."
The piece has a slow swing, which happens from the opening solo melody, right up until the final chord. In the middle section, there can be no doubt that birdsong is heard and stands out in a unique way.
