Brezairola comes from the Auvergne region of France. In this gentle lullaby a mother is pleading with her baby to go to sleep. At last at the end of the song, the baby finally does fall asleep. I wrote this arrangement for double strung lap harp in the key of G. It is intermediate level and there are no lever changes.

This is an original composition for the double strung harp. The imaginary is that of a mother saying goodbye to her son by the river. The story takes place in the ancient days when people travel by boats to faraway lands and it would probably be years before seeing loved ones again. The mother silently watches the flowing river take away her son until he is no longer in sight . . .

The song is in aeolian mode in the key of G. The range is low A (1.5 octave below middle C) to E (2 octaves above middle C). It requires one mid song D# lever change on the right.
