Lullaby from The Bavarian Highlands

In the early 1890s, whilst on holiday in Bavaria, Elgar composed several pieces for chorus and keyboard for a group of musicians he met at the inn in which he was staying. He later orchestrated three of the pieces that were published as Three Bavarian Dances - this arrangement is the second movement of that suite. The Pavão Quartet recorded this arrangement on the CD Dreaming, released in 2008 on Discrete Recordings DISC0801 and re-released in 2010 on Discadia Records DISCA001. Included on the same CD are four more of Martelli’s Grieg, Beethoven, Debussy and Dvořák arrangements also published by Broadbent & Dunn.
