First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Grieg’s Cradle Song surrounds a gently curving melody with a quiet, steady pulse. Sustained bass tones and moving inner notes give the opening a warm, layered sound. The first tune leads to a very soft contrasting passage of paired notes and chords above descending accompaniment figures. Chromatic harmonies and a brief swell disturb the calm before the opening melody returns. Later, its flowing figure passes into the lower voice, and distant upper-register echoes lead to an extremely soft final chord. An interesting detail is that the opening melodic figure eventually appears in the left hand, changing the balance of the lullaby without abandoning its familiar shape.
