Each track has a story and a picture to help you understand the beauty and importance of this compilation to Julia. Ally bally, ally bally bee - Scottish, traditional A favorite of every wee bairn (child) growing up in Scotland - maybe because we identify so clearly with it. Sitting on Mommy or Daddy’s knee ‘greetin for a wee bawbee (crying for a few pennies) to buy Mr. Coulter’s candy. Growing up, one of the highlights of our week was going to the local Toffee Shop on Wednesday afternoons to buy a few pennies worth of sweeties. (candy)

I sang it often to my daughters Claire & Michelle. It has a hauntingly beautiful melody line and has great beauty in its simplicity. The lyrics bring us closer to the natural rhythms of nature. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#1 72fcc51f-6f59-49cc-a61f-a74edf90e51b http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/CandM87.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/CandM87.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">Hush a bye Birdie Croon Croon</span> - Traditional gaelic<br/></p><p class="Caption">This tender song is based on an old traditional Gaelic air and a particular favorite Scottish lullaby in our family.

In fact we still sing it together to this very day! I missed them on this recording! This was our first introduction to Gaelic, a language that is now enjoying a revival in Scotland. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#2 3d2912b5-20b0-4379-a4dd-30f52bd92693 http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/020_20.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/020_20.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">Oran-a-Chree (Song of my Heart)</span> - Traditional gaelic air<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">Another hauntingly beautiful lullaby that my sisters Sylvia and Christine sang together when we were growing up.

It was such a joy to sing the song with my sisters as we arrived in Eriskay. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#3 c91d1e46-f409-48ae-a427-87b44b68aa1d http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1257.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1257.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">The Eriskay Love Lilt</span> - Marjorie Kennedy Fraser<br/></p><p class="Caption">This beautiful gaelic song is such an important part of our lives that I made a ‘pilgrimage’ to Eriskay, a tiny remote island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, in the summer of 2004.

The tune is based on an old Gaelic air from “Pictures in song” arranged by Sir Hugh Roberton. We were very fortunate to sing many of his arrangements in The Milngavie Young Singers-founded by my mother Phyllis http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#4 8bfa0d5c-3ad4-448c-a743-9ce2326a99a5 http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_0389.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_0389.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">Dream Angus</span> - Scottish, traditional<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">Angus is a Scottish sandman bringing his sweet dreams to Scottish bairnies (children) so that they can fall into a gentle, peaceful sleep.

It commemorates the boat journey that Bonnie Prince Charlie took over the sea (in the winter of 1745-46) to Skye with the help of a very brave young lass named Flora MacDonald. Interestingly she later settled in my now home state of North Carolina. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#5 d1bca20e-4162-4d17-a35d-cceb732960f3 http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1132.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1132.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">Skye Boat Song</span> - Scottish, tradtional<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">One of our favorite pipe tunes and a lullaby that my father sang to me when I was a child.

Traditional German song: “Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf” Arranged by Kindermusik International I remember my mother singing this to me as she tucked me into bed and feeling very comforted that daddy was guarding the sheep and mommy shaking the dream land tree so that I would have sweet dreams and awake free from harm. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#6 53d3c3ef-11fe-4cf6-8ea5-45996828f10e http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1109.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1109.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">Sleep, Baby, Sleep</span><br/>Traditional German song: “Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf” Arranged by Kindermusik International<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">I remember my mother singing this to me as she tucked me into bed and feeling very comforted that daddy was guarding the sheep and mommy shaking the dream land tree so that I would have sweet dreams and awake free from harm. </p></div></div> All the Pretty Little Horses
A beautiful Appalachian lullaby The first song I sang when I came to the southeastern US. It is fitting that Michelle, my American born daughter, accompanies me on harp. What fun it was to record with her in the studio. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#7 783f0ef1-e6dc-48d2-9efc-64162ddef029 http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/DSCN0608.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/DSCN0608.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span class="style">All the Pretty Little Horses</span><br/>A beautiful Appalachian lullaby<br/></p><p class="Caption">The first song I sang when I came to the southeastern US.

The song paints a vivid picture of Christopher Robin kneeling and saying his prayers at vespers. It has a mystical quality and I clearly remember the expression in my mother’s voice and the warmth that surrounded me whenever I heard her singing it. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#8 4587323a-eb03-474b-b5ff-b819767afa6a http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/DSCN0534.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/DSCN0534.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_1">Christopher Robin<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">As I sing this lullaby today I can almost hear my mother’s voice.

I sang it to our girls Claire & Michelle in the 1980’s and now I am delighted to sing it for your children in the 21st century. http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#9 b06c8738-a4bd-4668-acbb-bc36608c8b26 http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/Great20Grandparents.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/Great20Grandparents.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_1">Little Teddy Bear<br/></p><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Caption">This is truly a song that has passed from one generation to the next: it was sung to my grandmother as a child in the early 1900’s, who in turn sang it to my mum in the 1920’s and then to me in the early 50’s.

It became a firm favorite - and we had to name each member of the family including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, cats & dogs with Claire and Michelle’s name in every verse. A great bedtime stalling technique! http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music.html#10 7d5f809e-1a5a-462e-9729-774704f2eeac http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1073.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.juliacobley.com/Hushabye_Lullabies/Words_and_Music_files/Media/IMG_1073.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_275_115"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="paragraph_style_1">May There Always Be Sunshine<br/></p><p class="Caption">This Russian lullaby became part of our bedtime ritual when we moved to North Carolina and I discovered Kindermusik.
