Cradle Song of The Seasons | 1887 Coonley

🌟🌛🍂[Lyrics below] This surprising lullaby was published in 1987:39 in "Singing verses for Children" by Lydia Avery Coonley ; pictures by Alice Kellogg Tyler [https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086415/00001...] (Permanent link for the book: https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086415/00001.... The lyricist was Lydia Avery Coonley. The composer was Frank H. Atkinson, jr. This is an art song, where the melody contrasts with the quite simple lyrics. I think it marks the transition period in music from the 1800s til the early 1900s. There is nothing 'folksy' about it. It doesn't have a Romantic era feel to it either. It has not been polished through use, like the folk songs. Trying to anticipate the next musical "motifs" from line to line by ear, is difficult. The musical steps seem a bit 'unpredictable', if I may say so. It is a song you must listen to, and learn. As such is is a bit quaint, yet lovely, too. You have to imagine late 1800s fancy parlours with afternoon singing performances. The melody has a large ambitus - from d to e''. Before singing it in the given key, I tried transposing the song to several lower keys, but the melody just went too low for my voice in the lower melodic parts. As it is, that high e'' turns flute-like (if not a complete shriek), and is probably one of the highest notes that I can reach in my voice range at this moment in time. Younger voices and trained sopranos can do it better. However, I think it's sad that these old lullabies just sit alone in these old song books, and that they're never 'let out to play' anymore. So I revived it. Sort of. The illustration is a vintage trade card from around 1890. Here are the words: Rock-a-bye, baby, see the leaves grow Tiny buds laugh as they peep through the snow. Sleep, darling baby, hear the birds sing Rock-a-bye, baby, This is bright Spring. Rock-a-bye, baby, see the young trees, Hear buzzing locusts and hear humming bees. Sleep, darling baby, wind's in the bough Rock-a-bye, baby, Summertime now. Rock-a-bye, baby, see the moon rise Golden and big,in the far eastern skies Sleep darling baby, harvest is near; Rock-a-bye, baby, Autumn is here. Rock-a-bye, baby, hear the wind blow Over the hilltops bringing the snow. Sleep, darling baby, warm in your home; Rock-a-bye, baby, Winter has come. *** Mine norske sangbøker for barn / My Norwegian Song Books for Kids: up Du kan bestille her / You may order here: 1.
