An almost comprehensive collection of lullabies from around most of the world. None from Native America or the Pacific Islands. Both music (the melody line) and lyrics are provided. This is a great book for those who wish to sing to their child Those interested in the lullaby as a music form, perhaps the earliest songs of humanity, will find this collection very useful, but information about the sources is lacking. I read music and can play most of these on Native American flutes, and I am sure the player of any instrument could play them as well. The chording is not indicated, but any musician can figure out what chords to play to accompany a singer or someone playing these simple tunes.
I love this collection of lullabys. It contained all the lullabys that I knew but didn't know the words to. It also contained several that I had never heard before but have since become part of our bedtime routine. It is beautifully notated and easy to read, however you should be able to read music to make use of this book.
I didn't get this book until my daughter turned 14 months old. I wish I had it earlier then she would be introduced to more than just "Rock-a-Bye, Baby" for her first 14 months. Now, every night, I sing three of four different songs to her from this book. My favorites so far are "All the Pretty Little Horses," : All Through the Night," and "Huna Blentyn (Sleep, My Baby)." The music notation is great for me, a musician, to practice sight singing when trying to learn a new tune. I think this is a great book and I am looking forward to buy more song books from the First Steps series.
I can't read music and was just hoping for a book of simple songs to sing to my baby. This has a lot of lullabies from other countries and that I have never heard before the book. Since I can't read music, they don't do me a lot of good. If you can read music, this would be a beautiful book.
This is a wonderful collection of tunes that are satisfying, soothing and imaginative. They are all folk tunes collected by scholars, which means they have already withstood the test of time for quality, and they are in the public domain. Not that babies care... Folk wisdom says that you should sing a lullaby twice and hum it for the third time, which puts the baby to sleep. Enjoy this delicious collection!
This book is a treasure! In today's culture we tend to be a society of music consumers rather than the music makers our ancestors were a century ago. So many of these musical "artifacts" are in danger of being lost forever. Dr. John Feierabend so wisely put together this collection to preserve not only the history of our culture but the connections with our ancestors. It's a wonderful reference and a quality addition to anyone's library...makes a wonderful gift too! Is there nothing better than a sweet moment with a child -- rocking and singing? I wish this for all children and their parents :)
This is a fantastic collection of authentic lullabies from around the world. If you are an early childhood teacher, early childhood or elementary music teacher, or just know someone with a baby, get this book! There is no CD included and you will definitely benefit by reading music, but it is an outstanding resource that I'm glad is out there.
This book is all-inclusive. it includes the origional language of the lullaby and when that is not english, it gives an english translation.
