Recording by Frank Wallace on Omaggio.
Dreams on a Lullaby, written in the fall of 2006, is based on the Catalan folk song arranged by Miguel Llobet, Noi de la Mare, and made famous by Andres Segovia. A sweet and luscious song in 6/8, the theme travels through major and minor versions that often interweave and conflict with each other with a surrealism reminiscent of the painter Dalí.

Translation of “El Noi de la Mare”??? The Son of Mary
What shall we give to the Son of the Virgin?
What can we give that the Babe will enjoy?
First, we shall give Him a tray full of raisins,
Then we shall offer sweet figs to the Boy.
First, we shall give Him a tray full of raisins,
Then we shall offer sweet figs to the Boy.
