BRAHMS' LULLABY
Brahms’ “Cradle Song: Good Evening, Good Night,” one of the most beloved lullabies around the world, sweetly conjures memories of comfort; it also happens to be a song our mothers sang to us during our earliest years. Our arrangement aims to capture the shift from wakefulness to dreamland, the repeating patterns evoking the oscillations of mobile over an infant’s crib: “Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed.”
— Greg Anderson & Elizabeth Joy Roe
