Description:
The traditional German text Josef lieber, Josef mein, set in English to the tune RESONET IN LADIBUS, is ornamented by a lilting, original accompaniment that brings out the beauty of this beloved carol. The tick-tock rhythm of the text and the gently rocking repeated eighth-note pattern in the piano unite to give a sense of gentle rocking and paint a tender picture of Mary and Joseph cradling their infant son.
