Wiegenlied for strings (Brahms arr. Schultz) (1994)
My arrangement for string orchestra of Brahms’ famous lullaby, Wiegenlied, was completed in 1994 for the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (Ronald Spigelman, conductor) for their forthcoming ABC Classics compact disc, Dream Children. The ABC had asked me to compose music suitable for inducing sleep in infants having heard that I had a baby on which to practice my technique! Also on the same recording is my own piece Willow Bend – another lullaby, scored for full orchestra.
