En savoir plus sur le livre

Words and music for thirty-seven of the most beloved traditional lullabies are gathered in this lavishly illustrated songbook. From the enduring “Rock-a-Bye Baby” to the winsome “Brahms’ Lullaby” to the amusing “Little Boy Blue,” each song is thoughtfully matched with works of art from the Metropolitan Museum’s vast collections. Paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Mary Cassatt, a photograph by Eliot Porter of his infant son, and an Eskimo stone carving of a mother and child are among the many works that grace the pages of this stunning book.Music arranged by Richard Kapp.Contents:Hush, little baby --Dance to your daddy --Now the day is over --All the pretty little horses --Mammy loves --Sleep, baby, sleep --Dance, little baby --Brahms' lullaby --Armenian lullaby --Swing low, sweet chariot --Can ye sew cushions --Mozart's lullaby --The sandman --Raisins and almonds --All through the night --Golden slumbers --Skidamarink --Day is done --Suo gan (lullaby) --By'm bye --Rocking --Baby's bed's a silver moon --Rock-a-bye, baby --Little Boy Blue --Baloo, baleerie --Brezairola (lullaby) --Kumbayah --Raindrops --Sweet and low --Fais dodo = Go to sleep --Toora, loora, loora --Bye, baby bunting --Twinkle, twinkle, little star --When at night I go to sleep --Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John --All night, all day --Good night to you all.
