By turns mournful and mystical, these 14 Celtic lullabies performed by musicians from around the world give voice to the experience of mother and child in haunting, evocative folk songs. "More often than not," veteran Irish singer Nóirín Ní Riain writes in the liner notes, "a true lullaby is more indicative of the mental state of the mother than of her wish to lull her child to sleep, and so often her frustrations find a legitimate voice through song." Celtic Twilight 3: Lullabies will become a bedtime favorite, both for its lulling pull to sleep for baby and the numinous, soothing tones of old-country songs for parents winding down at the end of the day. --Stefanie Durbin

5.0 out of 5 stars This music is a blessing to mothers and babies, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Twilight 3: Lullabies (Audio CD)

I received Celtic Twilight 3 Lullabies as a gift and have been playing it for my son since his birth. He's now a year old and has come to expect it's soothing sounds at naptime and bedtime. If the CD isn't handy, I only have to sing "Castle of Dromore" to him, and he drifts off to sleep. You would think having heard the same music several times a day for a year, I would be sick of it...but I'm not, and we both enjoy it tremendously. I have recommended this CD to several friends and have given the CD as shower gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful lullabies, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Twilight 3: Lullabies (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD because the first two Celtic Twilight CDs were wonderful. We listened to this CD moments after the birth of our first child. Each hospital attendant that heard the CD wanted to know about the beautiful music. Some tracks still bring tears to my eyes while I am holding my son as he falls asleep. I believe this will always be my favorite CD. This would be a perfect gift for any expecting or new parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Twilight 3: Lullabies (Audio CD)

This CD is great for curing insomnia or just relaxing. This music is just beautiful. There are many traditional Irish & Scottish lullabyes as well as new ones. All of the songs are beautiful, but I especially love The Castle of Dromore, Christina, Suantrai, and Lullabye. You won't be disappointed with this CD.
