Eric Whitacre: The Seal Lullaby: Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

This loving and dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The text is a classic by Rudyard Kipling: Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us, And black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us, At rest in the hollows that rustle between. Magical! Available separately: SATB. Duration: ca. 4:00.
