Lullabies from all over the world: musical dream trip

The volume "Lullabies from all over the world" is available from June 1, 2013 for 24.90 euros in the trade.

At all times and in all cultures, children were sung to sleep. With songs whose rhythm reminds of gentle rocking and the heartbeat in the womb. Lullabies are an ancient cultural asset, globally understandable and yet rich in sages. "Ai-lu-lu-lu", the Yiddish mother sings, "A lei lei lei lei lei" a Yuigur mother who lives in a province of the People's Republic of China. Lullabies are lullabies in English. Because they so loudly lull us, they sound familiar. Even if the tunes are alien, like the stories and the languages ​​they tell. A great collection of these sung stories will be released in June in the lavishly designed songbook "Wiegenlieder aus dem Welt", It contains 51 international lullabies and is the fifth volume of the "Liederprojekt", a charity campaign for singing with children by Carus-Verlag and SWR2, which was launched in 2009. The volumes "Wiegenlieder" from Germany, "Volkslieder", "Kinderlieder" and "Weihnachtslieder" have already been published.

Each "Liederprojekt" volume is a small treasure, in which one can leaf in with pleasure and listen in. In addition to notes and texts, the books contain a CD to sing along with as well as background stories or translations of the texts. More than 100 professional singers, choirs, vocal ensembles and instrumentalists have recorded the songs for the CDs, more than 300 children have been in recording studios and have sung along. All proceeds go to projects that promote singing with children, such as the "Ganz Ohr! Musik für Kinder" initiative by the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media.
