Title - 'Hopes & Dreams: The Lullaby Project'
Artist - Various

The Lullaby Project, a program of Carnegie Halls Weill Music Institute, pairs expectant and new mothers in hospitals, homeless shelters, schools, and correctional facilities; with professional artists to write personal lullabies for their babies.

Born of this program is Hopes & Dreams: The Lullaby Project, which features a selection of these original lullabies as recorded by a range of artists.

The fifteen lullabies includes tracks in Spanish and French as well as English, reflecting the multi-cultural identities of the mothers themselves.

The track "Esso, Esso," sung in French and Ditammari (a language from northwest Benin), features Grammy Award-winning Beninese singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo, and salsa and bolero vocalist Gilberto Santa Rosaperforms in Spanish on "Mi Niña Bella."

Indeed, all of the performers on the recording represent a wide variety of musical genres, including pop, folk, classical, country, salsa, and jazz.

Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato lends her renowned vocal talents to the project's title track, "Hopes and Dreams," recorded with the Brentano String Quartet.

Joyce has been involved with the Lullaby Project for over five years and met Elsa Negron, the mother who wrote "Hopes and Dreams," when she performed the song at a special concert hosted by Carnegie Hall.

Lullabies are intimate and tender expressions of our hopes and dreams for our families, for ourselves and for our world. Hence, Hopes & Dreams: The Lullaby Project is one of those albums of music that you dare not listen to alone. Buy it. Share It. Absorb it. Become one with it and its cause.
