Lullaby by François Nicholas Riss A lullaby (/ ˈ l ʌ l ə b aɪ /), or a cradle song, is a soothing song or piece of music that is usually played for (or sung to) children (for adults see music and sleep). The purposes of lullabies vary. In some societies, they are used to pass down cultural knowledge or tradition.
The oldest children's songs for which records exist are lullabies, intended to help a child fall asleep.Lullabies can be found in every human culture. [4] The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sounds made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound or a term for a good night.

The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacte", may be the oldest to survive. [6] Many medieval English verses associated with the birth of Jesus (including "Lullay, my liking, my dere son, my sweting") take the form of a lullabies and may be adaptations of contemporary lullabies. [7]
More lullabies followed in much the same format, including variations on the completely separate song "Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green" (Opie #23), [18] until the ultimate transformation into Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody from the musical Sinbad of 1918.
