The gentle rhythms, lilting melodies, and poetic texts of traditional lullabies give voice to the innermost psyche of a mother. Through this voice, a child is ushered to the gateways of dreams, language, and culture. Kitka has collected and arranged a stunning set of Eastern European cradle songs, together with songs sung by the young, songs sung by grown children confiding in or remembering their parents, and songs that reflect on youth and aging.
