Order Classic Lullabyes
This album is dedicated to parents and children everywhere, but especially to my incredible
mother Jeanne Deis who led me to music, to lullabyes (Gretchaninoff, Scott and Carpenter)
and, most particularly, to singing, out of which everything else flowed; to our magnificent
Alexandra, my daily inspiration and cheerful noodge; and, of course, to fabulous Karl, the
consummate discerning listener and tireless enthusiast.
Recorded January 31, February 1 and 2, 2006 at Christ Episcopal Church,
Poughkeepsie, New York, by Jeremy Gerard
Edited, mixed, and mastered by Jeremy Gerard at Gurari Studios, NYC
Special thank-yous to my great friend David Alpher and to the wonderful Jörg and
Magda Schnass, Douglas Riva, Randy and Agnes White, Cornelius and Donna S. Reid
and Arne O. Finberg.
