Oyasumi: Japanese Lullabies and Restful Melodies From Koto World

Price: $14.99

Winner of both a 2002 NAPPA Gold Award and 2001 Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Aiko Shimada (voice) and Elizabeth Falconer (koto) play old songs from Japan; lullabies and age-old favorites that have been used to soothe children and adults alike for centuries. Compellingly understated arrangements bring out the warmth of Shimada’s voice and the ephemeral beauty of the 13-string koto. Works sung largely in Japanese, with some English lyrics artfully woven in, but no knowledge of Japanese is necessary to enjoy the beauty of these intimate, nurturing songs.more details

Don’t let the title fool you. It’s not just for kids! Hit songs like "Big Girls Don’t Cry," "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You," "Walk Like A Man," and "Oh, What A Night" will captivate all ears and bring smiles to listeners of all ages. Bob Gaudio, who was an original member of The 4 Seasons and the group’s chief songwriter, won a Grammy Award for the remarkable Jersey Boys - Original Broadway Cast Recording. His daughter Danielle Gaudio-Lalehzar, wanting her own children - and all children - to share in the Jersey Boys experience, persuaded her father to refashion his hit songs into new versions intended for babies and kids. Each arrangement has its own signature sound, which gives this new release a unique quality.
