Product Description: So much has been made of the music for babies and children to sleep, eat, and have their brains grow optimally that a collection of lullabies might seem a little suspect. But when the folks at Ellipsis Arts take up the task of creating a lullaby collection, the results are bound to be fruitful. Sure, the emphasis in this collection of 19 songs is on gentleness, but this music is so seldom heard that it's endlessly enticing. The Celtic lullabies range from three-part Welsh carols to the overtone-tinted wooden flute of Chris Norman on "Now I Am Asleep" to several showings for acoustic harp that highlight vocals by singers such as Jill Rogoff and Ann Mayo Muir. The unfortunate trend of globetrotting CDs that lose all their geographic specificity is easily bucked here with songs sung in Manx Gaelic and the more familiar Irish. The set even takes into account the farthest reaches of the Celtic diaspora by including a religious Nova Scotian melody with mother Mary singing to the baby Jesus, "Tha mi 'g altrum Righ na Mòrachd" ("I am nursing the Almighty King," for all you non-Gaelic speakers). The blurred edges throughout this selection move toward sonic dreaminess, made more warmly vaporous by the pillowing effect of the instrumental accompaniments. --Andrew Bartlett

One of our standard gifts for new parents
We received this cd when we were expecting. We listened to it so often when our son was young that we have made it one of our standard gifts to new parents.

Wonderful cd
If your fascinated by string and flute instruments you will love this cd. The singers do the lullaby's plenty of justice. If your like Waldorf style learning you'll defitnitely enjoy it.

Lovely
I got this originally because of the first song on the CD, "Night, Night." I found that the sample I heard of this song helped to get rid of headaches that I was getting at the time. I being able to listen to the whole song, as well as the others, have helped me to be able to relax. This is especially important to me now that I am in college, which we all know can be very stressful. Therefore, I recommend this for not only babies and young children, for anyone who needs to relax.

My 6 1/2 year old Baby Boy Scot still loves this, as do we
He's had this CD for several years, I'm buying yet another copy. He has a wide variety of music, mostly Classical, Celtic and fun kid type, but this is surely one of his favorites.
Buy this for beautiful melodies, a variety of instruments, fine and interesting voices in different languages that are strangely compelling. If you have a Celt heritage, especially, buy this for the the children and for yourself.
