Beth Blenz-Clucas blogs about music for kids that grownups will love too
A new parent’s re-introduction to children’s music usually occurs at baby’s bedtime. The most useful form of children’s music, a lullaby is also the most ancient. Parents have been lulling infants to sleep with song since our vocal chords became distinctly human. Every culture has its own tuneful ways to solve the same problem of how to quiet a caterwauling kid.
Luckily, tired 21st century parents have oodles of songs and recordings at their disposal. To fill your child’s nursery with absolutely gorgeous vocal sound, try Renee and Jeremy. This L.A-based duo has quietly built a reputation for elegant music, and their lullaby “It’s a Big World” should work wonders to calm the kids. You can download the song for free from their site and enjoy their colorfully animated video, too:
