Thank you for posting this. Beautiful. Used to rock my granddaughter to sleep with this. As she got a little older and bigger she'd stop what she was doing tp listen and often drift into a nap. It was special music, just between her and I and forever touches me sweet memories of her.

How fitting it should be that this piece is known as "Sleeper's Wake" for it summons a profound awakening within oneself. Do you hear the fervor? It calls forth the soul, relieving it of cobwebs and stagnation. Rejoice! If you have but ears, your spirit does fly today.
