The melody is soft and sweet, and the rhythm of accompaniment brings a sense of turmoil in the cradle. Many great composers such as Mozart, Schubert and Brahms have written such songs.

magnum opus

Accompaniment often imitates the rhythm of cradle swing. Because the rhythm of lullaby and boat song is very close, and they both have lyrical and singing melody and quiet atmosphere, and have many characteristics in common, German composer Richard Strauss adopted Mendelssohn's boat song melody in his lullaby of Family Symphony. Family Symphony is about a day in the composer's family life. Lullaby is one of them. This piece of music has two melodies: one is the melody representing children, which is the theme of children. It was played in silence by the ancient oboe, bassoon and viola. The ancient oboe played a third lower sound than the oboe, and it was an oboe with keys. The other is the melody of a lullaby, which comes from a song about mother. On the bass clarinet, the first two bars are the melody of Mendelssohn's wordless song in G minor. The author combined the two melodies with polyphony. Supporting these two melodies is the rhythmic sound pattern describing the cradle swing, which is blown out by two big pipes. At the end of this piece of music, we can hear the bell ring seven times, which is played by Zhong Qin. At this time, the theme of father appeared on the cello, and the theme of mother appeared on the violin, describing the eyes of parents' blessing and devoting themselves to their sweet sleeping children.

Lullaby, like boat songs, has both vocal works and instrumental works. 6/8 beat is also a typical lullaby beat. For example, the following 6/8 beat vocal lullaby is composed by Mozart. This song is based on the short melody of two bars, with clear and warm timbre and full of hope for children's future. Describe the rhythm of the cradle swinging gently from beginning to end. The song sings: "Sleep, my baby, the little bees have rested, and the birds have returned to their nests. How peaceful the garden is. The moon smiles in the sky. How beautiful the silver light is. It shines on you through the window. Sleep, my baby, sleep! " Besides lullabies in 6/8 beats, lullabies in 3 beats and 4 beats can also describe the swing of the cradle in harmony and rhythm. Schubert's "lullaby" uses the constant alternation of stable chords and unstable chords to reflect the effect of cradle swing. This is a folk song, and the music is full of infinite tenderness and caress. Brahms's "lullaby" is a rhythm fluctuation through strong and weak beats. To create the image of the cradle swaying. This is also a gentle and beautiful folk song, which shows the mother's cordial wishes to her children: "Good night, good night, roses and lilacs have closed their eyes, so go to sleep quickly." Tomorrow, early in the morning, I can talk and jump again. Good night, good night, the angel is watching over you, go to sleep, the baby tree will appear in your dream. Sleep soundly, and you will dream of heaven. "
