This Japanese lullaby is a traditional song sung by girls far away from home as they worked as nannies in upper class households. The gentle sounds of flute and wind chimes support the plaintive quality of the melody, presented in canon and simple harmonization over the arpeggios in the piano or optional marimba accompaniment.
