Notes
Brahms’ “Cradle Song: Good Evening, Good Night” is one of the most beloved lullabies around the world and sweetly conjures memories of comfort; it also happens to be a song our mothers sang to us during our earliest years. Greg’s recomposition aims to capture the shift from wakefulness to dreamland and the repeating patterns evoking the oscillations of a mobile over an infant’s crib. “Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed.”
— Greg Anderson & Elizabeth Joy Roe
