William Byrd’s Lullaby is from his Psalmes, Sonets, & songs of sadnes and pietie of 1588. It is a song of comfort from Mary to the infant Jesus in the context of the Massacre of the Holy Innocents, where King Herod tried to have all the newborns killed in an attempt to prevent the survival of the rumored child-king. The gentle lullaby section, heard first and last, contrasts with the darker, mournful section lamenting the slaughter.
