The Celtic Lullaby

A collection of traditional lullabies from Ireland, Scotland, Wales & beyond to coax, cuddle and caress a child to sleep. Ethereal and enduring, each of these cradle songs has a melody that delights and lingers within the listener. This compilation album, originally released in 1996, features some of the finest singers of traditional and Celtic music around today. Harps, whistles, mandolins and flutes create crystalline textures, and the Gaelic lyrics and translations provided give insight into linguistic rhythms, shades of meaning, and even historical references. Not all of the songs are actually Celtic, but this does not detract from the beauty of the music.

Jill’s connection with the recording is two-fold: firstly, a track from her best-selling album The Celtic Cradle is included; and secondly, she was asked to write the liner notes. Her unedited original version can be found elsewhere on this site (see: Articles).
