Lullabies For Grownups
This was a perfect week for lullaby music.
Not for my kids. They've outgrown the need for soothing sounds at nighttime. They'd just as soon drift off to sleep listening to The Beatles or Jason Mraz.
No, I'm the one who wanted to hear lullabies as I recovered from the flu and a couple of very tiring days of teaching.
I've found perfection with the new CD Siente: Night Songs From Around The World from classical guitarist Hilary Field and vocalist Patrice O'Neill. Siente is a collection of lullabies from around the world, sung in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
The warm vocals and lush instrumentation from the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra make for an absolutely beautiful listening experience. It's like a mental massage, bringing a real sense of peace and calm to my frazzled brain at the end of the day.
The artists' website describes their CD as "lullabies for grownups... and their kids!"
Forget the kids. This one's just for me. Well, almost. My daughter just asked to play this CD in her room tonight. I guess you never outgrow this kind of beautiful music.
Listen: Hilary Field & Patrice O'Neill - "A La Puerta Del Cielo"

I LOVE this CD. I reviewed it on my music blog and can't get enough of it!
Hey there Phil,
I too am enjoying Siente. I ran a review of it on OWTK a couple weeks back. My girls dig it while they sleep - I need total quiet at bedtime.
Hope all is well.
