Jesus, Jesus Rest Your Head

Beautiful A Cappella Christmas Sheet Music

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied

In this beautifully interpreted arrangement of the Appalachian folk carol, Mack Wilberg provides a gentle harmonization suitable for a lullaby to the Christ child. A slight sense of foreboding is introduced in the central minor section as the tenor and bass voices ask ‘Have you heard about his fate?’. Wilberg’s setting of Jesus, Jesus, rest your head was broadcast on PBS in 2022, performed by The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. This is a lovely and accessible selection for Christmas concerts or services.
