Celtic Twilight Lullabies is exactly
what the title sounds like. Musicians from Ireland, Scotland
and the United States perform a 14-song collection of traditional
and original sweet lullabies in the Celtic tradition. Four
of these songs were commissioned specifically for this Hearts
of Space album CD. Except for the song "Christina,"
which is a gentle fiddle tune, all of the songs have vocals
including my personal favorite "Suantrai" by Anuna.
Actually, Anuna is a mixed chorus ensemble performing a
cappella on this old Scottish lullaby, and they sound
like a choir of angels in a state of grace. The CD album's
collection of soothing songs will set a quiet and reflective
mood for the comfort of the listening child, while thoughtful
and inspiring lyrics are there to touch the heart of the parent
as well. Celtic Twilight Lullabies is available through
Hearts of Space at (415) 331-3200 or www.hos.com.
