Description:
The American folk song 'Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head' is a gentle lullaby portraying the irony of the Christ Child sleeping in a lowly manger while 'evil folk' sleep on feathers at their birth. The lyrical tune is simple and beautifully realized with a solo violin as the introduction. Sweet, colorful sonorities from the choir illustrate the awe of the animals at the incarnation, while the harp is evoked in the piano accompaniment - perfect for any Christmas service.
