A lullaby is a soothing song,
usually sung to children before they go to sleep. They originated
in England in the late 1300s. The idea is that the song sung by a
familiar and beautiful voice will lull the child to sleep.
Lullabies written by established classical composers are often given
the form-name berceuse, which is French for lullaby, or cradle
song.
