The Beijing Angelic Choir, composed of the best voices from several local choirs in Beijing, is distinguished by their sweet, superbly trained voices and musical training. Included are 12 songs: 'You-you-zha,' 'Clear Moon, Quiet Winds,' 'Hammock Hanging Between Betel Trees,' 'Puyama Lullaby,' 'Tu-jia Lullaby,' 'A-ni-qie-er,' 'Kitty, Stop Meowing,' 'Li Lullaby,' 'Lullaby of the Fisherman's Family,' 'Tibetan Lullaby,' 'My Brother, Pu-ru-lai' and 'A-lai, Ba-lang-mu.' These songs are lightly accompanied, with emphasis, of course, on the singing of the children. The sound is dreamlike, sweet and soaring, almost other-worldly. We'd love to learn more about the beautiful, haunting lullabies, but most of the liner notes are in Chinese and we can only use our imagination. 'Lullabies' was a finalist for the 1996 NAIRD award for the Best Children's Music, and is stunningly lovely CD!
