@leeneia Interestingly enough, I heard a version where they sing: Schäfchen ruh'n und vögelein. Would that be less of a mouthful than, "Es ruh'n schäfchen und vögelein"? The part where a solo soprano would usually sing so high that glass would shatter? I've made an arrangement where that part is a softly playing flute instead. Since I don't like opera singing, flutes sound pretty to my ears. So do soprano saxophones. Especially when played softly. I mean, aren't lullabies supposed to be soft, not shrill like arias? I even put a bit of a crying tone in my voice (That's natural for me.), and no, this is not fake crying, the tears are for real!
