Lullaby for Barnaby | Colin Shaw

This is a piece for 6 players of higher intermediate level.
The title is derogatory – written when Colin’s son was keeping him awake when he was a
baby!
Counting is very important for all parts, especially as the 6/8 time signature at the
beginning is disrupted by hemiolas.
The tin bath is optional. A tray will have the same musical effect, but the drama of a
performance of Lullaby for Barnaby makes this an experience to remember.
