Daylily Lullaby

Composer Notes:
Daylily Lullaby was written as a tribute to my in-laws in Springfield Illinois, home of The Thomas Reese Memorial Carillon. This instrument is situated in a historic park amidst a lush botanical garden. My in-laws were award-winning master gardeners in their day and sold daylilies at the park from time to time. Daylily Lullaby is the story of a “Father Carillon” putting the “daylily children” to bed each night; tickle-fight and all.
