Free Music Notes for Lullabies-A Songbook Companion
Free Music Review: It puts my grandson to sleep in 2 minutes
Hit: 5 Stars
He's six weeks old and fussy. I put this lovely album on and I listen with great pleasure while he sleeps very soundly. I think this is a terrific album and a great baby shower gift.Free Music Review: Best I've found, but...
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought the book first, but I can't read music very well, so this CD really helped to bring it all together. My main interest was in learning the lullabies so that I could sing them to my daughter. I think that the book and the CD have helped me enormously. The music on the CD is simple and quiet. The main singer is very very good and sings with a bit of an operatic style. The other singer is not as great (I think that she's actually the daughter of the pianist), but she can carry a tune. My only complaint is that a lot of the songs were not researched well enough and there are lots of technical errors in titles (Baby's Bed instead of Slumber Boat), lyrics, and score... I guess you can just call it artist's liberty. For my own purposes, this is an important flaw. If you are just looking for some nice music, it's probably not as important to you. I highly recommend the music book (to which this CD is a companion) as well; it's full of lovely art.Free Music Review: Simple and sweet songs
Hit: 4 Stars
With just piano, violin and vocals, this is a simple and heartfelt album. Ms. Baird's voice conveys the full emotions that a mother feels for her new baby with clean and open singing. The first track in particular, "All Through The Night," still makes me teary. I played this in the hospital when my son was born, and we use it as part of our wind-down ritual. I do agree that some of the songs are a little upbeat for bedtime. We just skip those in the evening (using iTunes).Free Music Review: Soothing Songs
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a very soothing collection. Wonderful for the newborn months and long after--I use it now for the perfect backdrop for my toddler when we are getting ready for bed at night. A great gift for others too!Free Music Review: Good if you want to sing from the book but can't read music
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this solely because I have the book and wanted to sing the lullabies to my kids, but I can't read music. For this purpose it is fine. The songs are not in the same order as in the book but I can deal. As a stand-alone lullaby CD I wouldn't really recommend it--the songs are not sung in a soothing manner, there's lots of variety in tempo and volume, some are even sung up-beat. The voices are not pitched high enough for babies either. That being said, I am back on Amazon today to buy it for my sister who is due any day now with her 3rd kid--we both like to sing and have the book, and songs (in book or music form) are a great present that the baby won't grow out of for a long time, and helps you bond with your little one too.
