music and mothers  

Definition

  • The musical genre most often associated with women and children is lullaby singing or cradle song. Mothers have been singing to their children all over the world for centuries, and there is perhaps no image more maternal than a baby swaddled in a mother's arms as she quietly sings her to sleep.
