Ha.. I'll test it out on my kids tonight and let you know how it goes! The slowing frequency of the notes at the end is what does the trick.

That's the point.

It seems like a natural progression, alpha waves and breathing frequency go down, creating an ever more relaxing space to accommodate for it. But that's just the theory.

Hits the mark. Although I knew at least one kid that would fall asleep to heavy metal (at low volume).

I might have to look into that. I think I can fix it by lowering the volume alongside the tempo.

Nah it's just because I love your stuff

Heh, yea, that could also be an option.

Wow I never realized there was such a strict definition of lullabies.  Several years ago I made an album of "lullabies" but it was the more generic idea of songs to fall asleep to.  I do distinctly remember one of them just happened to be in 3/4 time, which I know is also the official waltz time.  Anyway this does sound like something that kids could sleep to.  I think I remember having some little toy boxes back in the day that sounded not unlike this.

There's wisdom to the 3/4, mainly that it simulate a rocking motion but in musical form. The voice is added to simulate singing, which creates a bond with the infant. So there's definitely some thought put into it.

It's not a glockenspiel, it's a toy box, but I didn't just use one toy box sound, I used two and pitched on up an octave to create a better toy box sound. The choir wasn't supposed to sound like that, something must've gone wrong during export (serves me right for not double checking). I'll put up the fixed one on soundcloud.

Check the description. I could ask for a replacement link, but I'll keep it as is now as a learning experience.

It's called Music Box actually, that was my bad.

The choir is the winning element for sure. I like the execution of the concept too.

I'm glad you looked up lullaby. It is a nice piece. Lullabies are used with premature babies especially in NICUs to help calm them and stimulate feeding. Classical music type lullabies are the best at that. BTW, babies comprehend far more than they get credit for because everything is input. It tends to manifest itself in later years. Good job on your lullaby.
