A Garden Lullaby by Jacques Offenbach — Lyrics
Ev'ning breese,
come rock the trees,
The birds to slumber swinging;
Lull the flow'rs,
in shady bow'rs,
Their dreamland tryst to keep.
All the day,
the garden gay
With laughing life was ringing;

About A Garden Lullaby
This charming SA setting of Jacques Offenbach's A Garden Lullaby captures the gentle transition from day to night in a garden. The English text evokes a peaceful scene where the evening breeze rocks the trees and flowers prepare for slumber. It paints a picture of a garden once filled with lively sounds, now settling into quietude as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a final glow before darkness descends. The piece offers a sweet and evocative musical experience, suitable for its intended SA voicing. It invites singers to express the serene beauty of nature at dusk, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
