In particular, the gentle, predictable, and legato characteristics of lullabies were emphasised as being appropriate. A lullaby is a vocal piece of music specifically designed to lull a child to sleep by using a repeated formula. Within this session, we also offered them training on how to use lullabies effectively. Within these forms there are moments that are lively and even loud, but in the end the nocturne is always lulled, the lullaby hushed, and the requiem prostrate. They found that so few lullabies are generally known these days, and their programme was able to expand this repertoire, in addition to numerous other benefits. Within the diary, we directed them to record the lullabies that they sang, the number of times they sang each lullaby, and their reasons for selecting the specific lullabies. Gershwin's lullaby is indeed jazzy, but not modern. The rocking 12/8 rhythm and the pre-verbal 'shoodoo, shoo-be-doo' of the chorus connote the lullaby and the 'shh' sounds that are used to 'hush' crying babies. It had tended to become something of a lullaby—a deceptive lullaby. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
