CANCIÓN DE NIÑEZ (2014, rev. 2020) by Frank E. Warren
As Aaron and I became better acquainted, I learned he was blessed to balance his music with a wonderful family life-style, in a beautiful home. When he asked if I'd write a composition for his popular "New Lullaby Project," I was delighted.
It seemed appropriate this music be traditional in form, reflecting the sturdy structure of his family, and home. The result, a five-minute work in Rondo form. It has a simple melody with repeated accompaniment and obligatory contrasting sections. I like to think the theme is what many children might enjoy as they fall asleep, while the contrasting sections remind, life is not so simple!
My hope, even if you're not young, is within the simpleness of Canción de niñez, you'll find peace, teaching that lifestyle to your own children.
