Sincere thanks to Kari Turunen and the Vancouver Chamber Choir for this superb World Premiere recording, sung on Nov 29, 2025, as part of a memorial concert for my uncle, Duncan W. Shaw (1932-2025). For song description and sheet music, see below.

Description: “The Lamb” is a companion piece to my more intense choral creation, “The Tyger,” also based on a William Blake poem. Dedicated to my grandson Daniel, “The Lamb” appears in Blake’s poetry collection “Songs of Innocence” and there is indeed a child-like innocent quality to the poem, and also a spiritual questioning: “Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?”
