A fast
lullaby to entrain the waking mind.
I used my young son, as a guinea-pig to test the effect
of this traditional lullaby from Jakarta. He was
a very happy baby, rarely cried, and would quickly synchronise
with the cheerful beat. Lelo Ledung was collected by
Dorothy Berliner Commins and published in her 1967 Random
House publication "Lullabies of The World". This instrumental
arrangement was LucyTuned, and recorded at SkyArc Studios,
Bournemouth, England in the summer of 1994, as the first
of a series of eight lullabies. The translation
of the Indonesian lyrics are rather strange, yet since
it is an instrumental, and I know little of the original
language, it may be best to invent your own.
