Eric Whitacre's Goodnight Moon for Soprano and Piano.

This is a setting of the text from Margaret Wise Brown's children's bedtime story, which tells of a child saying goodnight to everything around.

In the great green room
There was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon
And there were three little
bears sitting on chairs
And two little kittens
And a pair of mittens
And a little toy house
And a young mouse
And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush”
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Goodnight light
And the red balloon
Goodnight bears
Goodnight chairs
Goodnight kittens
And goodnight mittens
Goodnight clocks
And goodnight socks
Goodnight little house
And goodnight mouse
Goodnight comb
And goodnight brush
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight mush
And goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush”
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere
