about

A wordless lullaby for solo mezzo-soprano and fixed media with optional percussion composed by Jay Derderian (2017). Commissioned by Megan Ihnen on behalf of Shaya Bendix-Lyon for the Sleep Songs project. Engineered by Andrew Rodriguez.

"The voice is arguably the most intimate instrument there is, and singing unburdened by the semantics of text further amplifies this intimacy. This intimacy, coupled by the warmth and fire of a sunset at dusk, the emergence of stars in a blue-velvet sky over a sleepy landscape, and the heaviness of your eyelids as you rest your head to sleep are just a few of the images and moods I'm hoping to capture for this wonderful project by and for wonderful people." - J. Derderian
