Review:
Ahh. Parents, too, will want to close their eyes and drift off with this serene, resonant offering for lullaby and family quiet time. Composer Stephen Cohn’s lovely orchestral suite, based on American folk and traditional children’s songs, is expertly woven with layered melodies from "Scarborough Fair" and "Shenandoah" to a surprisingly playful "Home on the Range," performed by philharmonic artists and chamber ensembles on flute, cello, piano, English horn and other instruments aptly chosen to express the character and warmth of each.
