I'm afraid I have never heard of this opera. In my Concise
Baker's Biographical Dictionary, the entry for Godard says
the following in reference to Jocelyn: "then came his
maserpiece, Jocelyn, after Lamartine's poem (Brussels, Feb
25, 1888). The famous Berceuse from the opera became a
perennial favorite, exhibiting Godard's lyric talent at its
best." (I bet your "Lullaby" is the Berceuse.)
I also suggest you get to a good library and look up the
opera and the composer in the New Grove Dictionary of
Opera.
