Melbourne-based composer Hugh Crosthwaite today released an album of 16 Lullabies recorded by renowned Australian pianist Stefan Cassomenos.
In response to the intensity of the global pandemic, the lullabies were written in less than a month and recorded over two sessions with engineer and producer Myles Mumford.
On composing the lullabies, composer and producer Hugh Crosthwaite said:
“This project has been such a joy. Each lullaby is for a specific person, the children of my closest friends and family. It’s precious to me because each dedicatee is precious. Working with Myles and Stefan has similarly been wonderful. There is something beautiful about three fellas, working together, applying their hard-earned expertise, for the sole purpose of creating beautiful gentle music.
‘’Lullabies provide a safe space for the listener to unwind; to celebrate our connection to music as human beings. This meditative album is for all the new parents seeking comfort in the early hours of the morning, to those who are feeling anxious about the current global health situation, and for those who are lonely seeking attachment and care. That’s what lullabies are supposed to do, soothe the soul, and herald rest and renewal.
‘’Having Melbourne’s favourite pianist Stefan Cassomenos at the keys on this album provides more than just a bond between each musical work. Stefan’s passion and expertise resonates through each lullaby, resulting in a beautiful collection of songs that are relevant to today and these uncertain times,’’ said Hugh.
