Representative Works

The accompaniment often imitates the rhythm of the swinging cradle. Because of the close rhythmic proximity of the lullaby and the boat song, and the fact that both have a lyrical sing-songy melody and a quiet atmosphere, with many **** the same characteristics, the German composer Richard Strauss used Mendelssohn's Boat Song melody in the lullaby of his Symphony for the Family. The Family Symphony is about a day in the life of the composer's family. The lullaby is one of the passages. There are two melodies in this piece of music: one represents the child, the child theme. It is played by an ancient oboe, a tuba, and a viola with a muted voice. The ancient oboe plays a tone one minor third lower than the oboe, an A-flat oboe. The other is the melody of a lullaby, which describes the song coming from a mother. Played by the bass clarinet, the opening two bars are the melody of Mendelssohn's Song without Words in G minor. The author uses polyphony to combine these two melodies. Supporting these two melodies are rhythmic patterns depicting the swinging of a cradle, played by two tubas. At the end of this music, we can hear the bells ringing seven times, played by the carillon. At this point the father's theme appears on the cello and the mother's theme on the violin, depicting the parents casting a blessed eye over the sweetly sleeping child.

Lullabies are also like boat songs, both vocal and instrumental works. 6/8 meter is also a typical beat for lullabies. For example, the following is a vocal lullaby in 6/8 meter, the composer of which is said to be Mozart. The song is developed from a short two-bar melody as a thematic core, with a bright and fervent tone, full of hope for the child's future. The rhythm, which describes the gentle swinging of the cradle, runs from beginning to end. The song sings, "Sleep, my darling, the little bees have rested and the birds have returned to their nests, how peaceful and warm the garden is. The moon smiles in the sky, How beautiful a silver light shines through the window, Sleep, my baby, sleep, sleep!"　In addition to lullabies in 6/8 time, lullabies in triple and quadruple time can both utilize harmonic and rhythmic devices to depict the swing of the cradle. Schubert's Lullaby utilizes the constant alternation of stable and unstable chords to represent the effect of a swinging cradle. It is a folk song style song, and the music is full of infinite warmth and caress. Brahms' Lullaby is characterized by the ebb and flow of strong and weak beat rhythms. To create the image of the cradle swinging. It is also a folk song style song, the tune is gentle and beautiful, showing a mother's affectionate wishes for her child: "Good evening, good night, the roses and lilacs have closed their eyes, and you are fast asleep. By tomorrow, early in the morning, you'll be talking and dancing again. Good evening, good night, the angels are watching over you, sleep, the holy baby tree will be in your dreams. Sleep well, sleep sweetly, and you will dream of Paradise."
