Lullaby for the Witching Hour

This piece was written as an introduction to a gig performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble (myself, Sarah Dacey, Anna Snow) at the York Spring Festival in 2004. It sets my own text and is influenced by 'Our Prayer', heard on Brian Wilson's album Smile, as well as the Belgian/Central African a cappella group Zap Mama and the soundtrack to the film Belleville Rendez-Vous.

Lullaby for the Witching Hour also appears as part of Juice Vocal Ensemble's 'genre-defying' SSA Songspin Songbook, which also includes works by the likes of Gabriel Prokofiev, Sarah Dacey and Elisabeth Lutyens.
