Still, Still, Still (414.01) (Programme note: Still, Still, Still uses an Austrian lullaby which first appeared in a folksong collection in Salzburg in 1865. The words, from the 20th Century and attributed to Georg Götsch tell simply of Mary rocking the baby Jesus to sleep. Performance note: The accompaniment should be gently phrased but with a slight articulation to give a little definition to the arpeggio figures. The melody in verse 1 should be expressive but simply played. In verse 2, retain the very gentle, subtle dynamics. The ritenuto before D should create a very relaxed cadence, placing moving notes very carefully and without haste.)
