Sing Me To Sleep

Matthew Erpelding tells the story of a child's bedtime with brilliantly crafted vocal lines scored for SSA choirs. Spoken from the point of view of the child, the song embodies phases of excited restlessness and energized curiosity. It concludes with a captivating aleatoric section in which each choir member sings a four-note figure at random to create the effect of waves of sleep washing over the child.
