For centuries the world over, mothers (and fathers) have been cradling, cooing, and crooning to babies and small children with song. There’s scarcely a one of us that cannot recall a particularly gentle song a special someone sang for a wee self–to calm, soothe, and aid slumber. This tender music is to the soul what mother’s milk is to the body, and we call it the lullaby. Rooted in age-old tradition, Lullaby: A Collection presents an even dozen lullabies from around the globe. Particularly beguiling are the African “Be Still My Child” by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the traditional Spanish “A La Nanita Nana” as sung by Tish Hinojosa, and Bobby McFerrin’s “Common Thread,” which you may recognize as the theme from the American documentary Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt. Other featured artists include Sweet Honey in the Rock, Judy Collins, Derek Bell, and Loreena McKennitt. –Paige La Grone

The treasures here are rich: Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s harmonies in Be Still My Child; Tish Hinojosa’s traditional Spanish lullaby, the exquisite A La Nanita Nana; the haunting Japanese song, Sakura/Owayare, with sweet vocal by Freyda Epstein. Judy Collins sings All the Pretty Little Horses; Bobby McFerrin’s unique stylings are heard in his Common Thread and the gospel song, Lullaby, features the silky smooth harmonies of Take 6. — From Parents’ Choice®
