The girl (second from the right) was singing the high choir part, but the audio engineer obviously didn't have her mic up. :0(

"Sleep, Holy Child" is part of John W. Peterson's Christmas cantata "Night of Miracles". The cantata is out of print, but I found it through a used music retailer.

please please help me find the music for this song, my mom loves this song but has had difficulty finding the music....can you help?

[DebbieTK1]

The cantata is out of print, but I found it through a used music retailer. As for John W. Peterson's "Night of Miracles" cantata and "Sleep, Holy Child" is one of the pieces in the book. This one song isn't sold separately.

I love this song. Do you have others from Night of Miracles? :)

[DebbieTK1]

No, just this one.

I guarantee that if you can find copies of the cantata, it will be worth it. Although it may sound a bit odd, my family has numerous copies and we sing through it every time we get together for Christmas - narration and all. :) The piano accompaniment is difficult, but rewarding - and the transitions between songs are a work of musical art.

lovely presentation but why did they not put in the high notes in teh section where the choir comes in? i feel that made it slightly anti-climatic for me but overall a good performance of a great piece

My mother and father as pastors in Lovington, NM in 1965 led this musical. My mom was the violinist and musical director and lead soprano,and my dad was lead male. I remember this song well. I cried then at age 8 and I still cry every time I hear it. One of the most lyrical and beautiful songs I've ever heard.
