Customer Reviews:

Amazing cd.......2006-11-16

We received this cd as a gift and thought "oh, cute, but really more for the parents than the kid." Boy were we wrong. It is now known in our house (well, car really) as the "magic cd" because anytime our son gets fussy in the car, we hit the button for this cd and, about 90% of the time, instant silence is our reward. He loves it, we don't get sick of listening, and I can't recommend it enough.

Interesting songs from around the world.......2006-10-29

We bought this CD for our baby loving the idea of him falling asleep to international lullabies. It is a nice CD with mostly beautiful songs on it. However, our baby prefers another lullaby CD we have, and those are just Africa lullabies. Far more relaxing. There are a couple songs on this CD that aren't so relaxing and bedtime-oriented. But, for the most part, it is lovely.

Very lovely.......2005-09-19

I work as a daycare teacher, and I personally love this CD, and ended up buying a copy for myself. Great rhythm, great variety, and if you're good at languages you could learn them to sing yourself.

Beautiful music.......2005-07-25

If you want something something different, try this. Not only is it soothing for our daughter but my wife and I enjoy hearing it as well, which is a good thing when you play music each evening and have a baby monitor on. The songs are beautiful and eclectic. A great, soothing cd for adults, not just children.

My son has been falling asleep to this for the last 2 yrs!!.......2005-03-28

I bought this before my son was born- I was in a music store, and the CD just caught my eye, so I thought I'd try it out. After my son was born, we would play the CD for him every night. It was so calming and peaceful- he would (and still does 2 years later) fall asleep to it every time. Even though its in various foreign languages, the chanting and simple music is very soothing. My son loves it!

soothing melodies.......2007-04-22

I've tried several nighttime albums for my baby and this one's the best. Good music, calming melodies, no midi keyboards :-) loved it.

Wonderful.......2003-05-01

This is a wonderful collection of songs. I would buy this for any family with babies and young children.

very soothing.......2002-01-17

the best way to really describe this CD is to use words like "environmental" and "new-age".

it contains songs that are very soft, very quiet, and very soothing. many are just acapella -- whicn is what lullabies were meant to be, really. think about it! when trying to put babies to sleep, do mothers (world over) sing with piano or orchestra in the background? no, they just sing!

i bought this CD for my baby, but i find myself putting it on repeat and listening to it all day long. i highly recommend it.

Charming and exquisite.......2001-12-10

The variety of lullabies and nationalities represented are only outdone by the quality of the performances. A perfect concept CD executed perfectly.

Wonderful Relaxing Lullabies.......2007-04-19

These traditional lullabies from around the world sooth my five months old as soon as I put the CD on. The lyrics are included so you can learn the words. The songs bring the image of a "Little House on the Prairie" type mother singing her little one to sleep.

Peaceful and Soothing.......2005-05-18

We love this CD! My very energetic toddler seems to calm down immediately when we listen to this album. The music is beautiful, very soothing and melodic - I highly recommend it for any parent wanting to slow things down!

Restful, care-fully done.......2005-05-11

The perfect CD for helping mom relax and the little one go to sleep. The simplicity of the recording is appealing. One hears authentic motherhood, not hollywood glitz. The artist's clear, gentle voice conveys love and care in every note.

Beautiful!.......2005-05-09

Lovely selection of songs along with a clear beautiful voice and excellent musical arrangement. A great gift to yourself or for anyone you know who's having a baby.

Wonderful!!!!.......2005-05-09

This CD is great! It's a nice variety of traditional songs from around the world. I can just imagine my nephews falling asleep to these lullabies.

Pure Gold!.......2003-02-05

I can't stop playing it! Even after my children were lulled to sleep, I played it again and again. You are the new and improved Sara McLachlin combined with Linda Ronstadt. I want to buy a CD for everyone I know who is having a baby or has had one. I hope to hear another CD of Grown-up tunes soon.
Your voice is pure Gold! "Bravo"!

Album Description

A world tour of traditional lullabies from a variety of cultures. The tracks are simple and intimate performed on a number of instruments with light vocals.

The traditional "Frere Jacques" is translated in 10 languages, to aid a child's development of foreign language. A soft trumpet solo gives Brahms' Lullaby a jazzy twist. Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral is played on authentic Irish instruments. The collection also includes favorites from 12 different countries, such as "Kumbabya" (Congo) and "All Through the Night" (Wales.) Many lesser known, but worldly sounding tracks can also be heard.

Beautiful and Soothing Music.......2004-04-22

Goodnite Kisses is beautiful and soothing music even as an adult. The music brings back wonderful childhood memories.

Doctor's Endorsement.......2004-04-19

The first sound an infant in the mother's womb is able to hear is her heart beat. Angela Bartley has taken those beats and rhythms and created a soothing and joyous collection of lullabies in several languages. The melodies are soothing and comforting. The music is so harmonious and delicate that it reminds one of the warmth, safety and closeness of their own mother. "A string of jewels.....a masterpiece of rhythm and melody!"

Album Description

For centuries, families have loved simple lullabies--wonderful tunes that have been sung, hummed, or played to countless millions of babies to lull them to sleep.

In this album, which is nearly an hour long, you'll find quiet, simple, melodic versions of some of the world's most popular lullabies.

Jim Gibson's uniqueness with his Hickory Cove Music CDs is that he seamlessly weaves many pianistic styles together to make a most enjoyable, relaxing blend. Sometimes a song will "sound classical," while a few minutes later you'll hear a hint of jazz.

And, with "Beautiful Dreamer" the intent was to be as relaxing as possible, so these songs have an almost new-age feel--but with the content of long-loved melodies.

People love Jim's ten previous recordings because they are gentle, melodic, relaxing.

But . . . this one goes even further. And for parents of babies and young children, it will be a very popular CD.

A few months ago, we got a call in our Atlanta office from a young mother in Minnesota. She was frantic to have us send her one of Jim's CDs by overnight mail--because her two-year-old wouldn't go to sleep without "The Art of Tea" playing.

So, we decided to take advantage of Jim's melodic gift, and make a recording that, we hope, will put you to sleep.

This is it.

Customer Reviews:

My daughter can't sleep without this CD.......2006-04-03

My best friend bought this CD for me and it arrived 2 days after my daughter was born. We played it for her the night it arrived and she has been falling asleep to it every nap and every night since...she is 2 1/2 years old. This CD is beautiful...and since my husband and I can hear it over the baby monitor every night, it was important that it be pleasing to us as well...and it is. Anyone who has learned how to get a baby to sleep through the night knows that steadfast routine is the key. We made this CD part of our daughter's sleep routine and now, when we travel, we bring the CD with us and play it on a portable CD player. She'll go to sleep anywhere as long as this is playing. My best friend is now pregnant and I am returning the favor by buying her a copy of the CD. If you are looking for a beautiful CD to lull your little one AND yourself...look no further. I will be purchasing an extra copy to keep in my daughter's memory box, so that when she becomes a mother, she'll have a copy to play for her little one.

Beautiful Dreamer .......2006-01-24

Of all the beautiful melodies I have heard played by Jim Gibson, I believe this album of lullabies is my favorite. It is so very soft and soothing, not only for babies and moms, but for unborn babies as well. It quiets their stress of coming into a new world. This is the album that I have given so many times as gifts that played over and over without tiring of listening to it. There are various melodies; each one helps to make the atmosphere calm and restful. It is a peaceful album to soothe our stressful times.

With deftness and pristine, delicate beauty, Dreamscape smudges the line between lullabies and classical works in the world of music for kids. Sure, there are other, wonderful classical lullaby collections, but Dreamscape reaches beyond the classical repertoire while staying faithful to a chamber-music-meets-art-song approach. Heidi Grant Murphy sings with an enticing mix of the standard soprano's range and a gentleness that's in good keeping with the spirit of these works. Meanwhile, Auréole offers viola, flute, and harp accompaniment, subtle enough not to steal away from Grant Murphy and assertive enough to cultivate their own, sweet sonic space. The tunes originate in Crete, the Celtic world, Hungary, and France, and with the Native American Indian Hopi. While this likely won't draw kids in with musical exuberance, it'll certainly be an evening and naptime treat for all, perfectly in line with its intentions. --Andrew Bartlett

Customer Reviews:

Yuck.......2006-04-08

Tedious - boring - annoying vocals

If you're looking for a good lullabye cd for an infant or child - AVOID this one. I made the mistake of picking it up on the recommendations of the other reviews here. Big mistake. This is horrible.

Very Unique CD.......2002-06-25

I bought this well composed CD for my niece and boy did it calm her in the evenings before bed... she's out like a light in a short while everytime. Her mother thanks me but I thank Amazon for featuring this. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try something different if you have the taste for unique products.

sumptuous sound, fascinating repertoire.......2001-01-27

This is not child's play, but a sophisticated collection of lullabies, both traditional and new, composed and arranged by some of the best composers working today. The musicians of Aureole and the angelic voice of Heidi Grant Murphy cooperate beautifully to create a compelling recording that reveals more and more with each hearing.

The Greek lullaby of George Tsontakis, Jonathan Elliott's plaintive Hungarian "hommage a b.b." and WIlliam Mayer's enchanting "Zoombah"; these are but a few of the wonderful selections on this unusual and enchanting recording. It would be great to hear these fine musicians collaborate again.

Please note that this is NOT a recording for "easy listening," because the pieces are challenging, but they are beautiful and lulling in the very best lullaby tradition.

As a musician myself, I must say that this is music-making of the very highest rank.

NOT WORTHWHILE.......2001-01-04

I thought this would be a wonderful addition to my niece's bedtime music collection. I'm glad I listened to this before sending it, as I am extremely disappointed with the repetitive, non-soothing, non-tender treatment by Aureole and singer Heidi Grant Murphy. I am now stuck with this horrible CD. I don't have the heart to try to give it to someone else, somehow that just doesn't seem right, so the best I can do is write this review to warn others.

Lullabies from Around the World.......2000-06-14

Magical and soothing, that's how I discribe the music. I received this CD as a Christmas gift and am very impressed with the quality of the singing. Heidi's singing says she enjoys what she is doing and this subject is very special to her personally. I phoned a cousin and let him and his wife hear one of the songs-they were impressed and pleased. It was my cousins anniversay and this was the first opportunity they had had hear her sing professionally. What a treat for those of us who have known her for many years to be able to be able to share such wonderful music with our families, especially our young children. I have played the CD for my grandson and find that the music helps him settle down when it is time to go to sleep.
