Although music and singing have always been a part of my life I can pinpoint the time and place that first aroused my interest in lullabies. At the time I belonged to a circle dance group. We’d spend Friday evenings tripping around a church hall in Camden.
The music came from everywhere but mostly Eastern Europe. As well as teaching dance our leader spoke fluent Russian. Not long into our first series of lessons it was suggested that I might like to learn a Russian song. So we settled down and, pulling a shawl about her shoulders, then cupping her arms to hold an imaginary infant, my teacher sang ‘Bayoushki Bayou’. With gentle voice she captured the essence of lullaby calm and passed it on to me.
