During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids.

We’ve selected classical masterpieces perfect as lullabies to play for your baby.

Newborns often don’t have a settled sleep rhythm yet.

When it’s time to put them to sleep, you want to let them listen to something soothing, don’t you?

Classical music, which is also said to be good for prenatal listening, is something many parents may want their babies to hear.

In this article, we introduce gentle classical pieces that help babies and their families relax.

Be sure to listen together with your baby at bedtime.

Sicilienne, Op. 78GABURIERU FŌRE

A holiday morning.

Even though you don’t really have to get up, sometimes you wake up out of weekday habit, right? For times like that, I recommend Fauré’s Sicilienne, Op.

78.

This masterpiece by the great composer Gabriel Fauré is widely used in Japanese media.

While it carries a slightly mysterious, hollow atmosphere, I think it’s perfectly soothing for drifting back to sleep.

If you’ve woken up too early and are at a loss, try listening to this piece and see if you can doze off again.

Time to Say GoodbyeAndrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman

Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman – Time To Say Goodbye (Live From Teatro Del Silenzio, Italy / 2007)

Time to Say GoodbyeAndrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman

This is a majestic and beautiful piece in which the voices of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and British soprano Sarah Brightman blend together.

The song expresses, with a hopeful melody, a departure toward a new world that lies beyond a farewell to a loved one.

Sung by various artists around the globe, it is also known in Japan as the theme song of the film Amalfi: Rewards of the Goddess.

Its overwhelming harmonies will soothe a baby’s heart and gently lead them into a comfortable sleep.
