This is the second lullaby in the eight lullaby sequence from wakefullness
to sound sleep. It was recorded in England, in the same sessions as the
other seven, although it had originally been arranged and programmed during
my son's first year of life in Hawaii. The source was "Lullabies
of The World" by Dorothy Berliner Commins, a copy of which I had
found in the Hilo library shortly before my son's birth in 1992.

This cradle song with its cry of "Nani, Nani, Nani" is
found throughout Greece in a variety of versions. The Latin poet Horace
referred to it in the first of his Epistles as "the lullaby of children
which promises a kingdom to those who are good."
There is an old notion that on the third night following the birth,
each child is visited by the "Moirai", the three fates. They
will decide the future fortunes and misfortunes of the child and the length
of this life. Although periods and times of visitations vary, the manner
of receiving these supernatural visitors seems to be universal. Dogs must
be tied up. All superfluous furniture must be removed, lest they should
trip. They are propitiated by a banquet of cakes, honey, bread, and wine.
Sometimes gold and silver are left. as though even the fates are susceptible
to a bribe. The convention of the promise of kingdoms to the child is an
old one.

Haiti is the only French-speaking republic in the Western hemisphere.
It shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The population
is largely African, descendants of slaves brought over in the sixteenth,
seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. With them came their religious beliefs,
which survive in the cult of vodoun. At the rituals the pulsating
rhythms of the drums which accompany the sacred songs and dances are heard.
Many of the groups reflect strong European influences, for example this
lullaby with its words in French patios. That the mosquito is a
fact of life is clear from this song, ironically addressed to the unsleeping
mosquito and offered subtly as an articulation of the child's restless
discontent.

In the Malagan lullaby we find a reflection of Moorish influence which
left an indelible mark on the culture of Southern Spain. Andalusian music
and architecture are dominated by the same Oriental spirit. Elaborately
decorative as the arches and galleries of the Alhambra are, their lines
are graceful and un-pretentious. In this song too, the melody line is fixed,
and it is left to the individual singer to decorate the 'curve of the song'
with ornamentations and variations that arise from mood and personality.

The final lullaby of this eight song descending sequence is at the slow
tempo of 31 beats per minute. Hans Christian Anderson had something to
do with preserving this lullaby for posterity. He wrote the foreword for
the collection, "Bemenes Musik (1850)", from which it is taken.
