Lullabies from all over the world
After lullabies, folk songs, children's songs and Christmas carols, the book and CD series, which aims to promote singing with children, is going international. Cultural radio stations start weekly broadcasts from October 26, 2013
Singing makes you strong! That's why it should be supported everywhere: in the family, kindergarten, youth group or school. In 2009, Carus-Verlag launched the song project together with SWR2. It began with lullabies (see review SMZ 4/2010). Five major songbooks and 12 CDs have been published to date, and over 100 singers, choirs, vocal ensembles and instrumentalists have recorded songs for the project, as have over 300 children. More than 350,000 euros have been used to support singing projects with children.
The new episode, Lullabies from all over the worldThe book features a variety of traditional lullabies from different countries, illustrated with photos from all over the world. The songs take the listener on a musical journey around the world, including to New Zealand, India, South Africa, Lebanon, Turkey and Switzerland. Interested listeners can also follow the sounding itinerary on the radio (see below).
The project was developed in collaboration with the European Choral Association - Europa Cantat (ECA-EC) and its international network. The books, CDs, music volumes and text booklets are available in stores. The contents are also available free of charge on songproject.org.
