Mater ridet, Quae tam dulcem somnum videt, Dormi, Jesu! blandule! Si non dormis, Mater plorat, Inter fila cantans orat Blande, veni, somnule. Sleep, sweet babe! my cares beguiling: Mother sits beside thee smiling; Sleep, my darling, tenderly! If thou sleep not, mother mourneth, Singing as her wheel she turneth: Come, soft slumber, balmily! © CHOR GESANG - Das Musikmagazin (2021) mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Wells Cathedral Choir +++ Wells Cathedral Choir +++ https://www.wellscathedral.org.uk/music/ https://wells.cathedral.school/choristers/ https://twitter.com/choirofwells https://www.facebook.com/WCCTrust/ https://www.facebook.com/WellsCathedral/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC24WnGhb9hay18tP72QcqUA https://www.instagram.com/wellscathedral/ +++ CHOR GESANG - Das Musikmagazin +++ https://www.facebook.com/ChorGesang2016/ https://www.youtube.com/c/ChorGesangChannel/ https://www.instagram.com/chorgesang/ https://twitter.com/Chor_Gesang
