Gunnar Eriksson’s affinity for ostinati is displayed beautifully in this setting of a Swedish lullaby. The haunting nine-bar melody, sung by the soprano then alto, is accompanied by sparse, ostinato patterns in the other voices. Works well when paired with Eriksson’s “To the Mothers of Brazil” (Walton Music HL08501635)
