Sleep Softly - a bookwrap

"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high/In a land that I heard of once, in a lullaby./Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."

Sleep Softly - Classical Lullabies By Brahms, Schubert, Satie, Debussy... Performed by L'Ensemble Agora and Illustrated by Élodie Nouhen, Composed by David Pastor (a Storybook & Music CD)




This book will become a treasure as you tuck your little one into bed each night.  Sixteen classical lullabies orchestrated for a wind quintet and harp are performed exquisitely by the critically acclaimed L'Ensemble Agora. Beautiful music will lull your baby into the land of dreams where whimsical, dream-like illustrations from the book will inhabit their minds, calming them and giving them peace.  The author Élodie Nouhen gives brief explanatory notes describing how each song was composed and how it was arranged for this recording.  The CD was recorded in France and will not only soothe a crying infant, but will be enjoyed by the whole family as well.
