Did Mozart believe in Lullabies?

There is a never-ending circle that connects Mozart with Dr. Alfred Tomatis with myself and Don Campbell and with new mothers and infants. The thread than runs through all of this is the time-honored lullaby. Of course mothers have lulled their babies to sleep for eons with lullabies of all kinds.

Mozart was very fond of a French folk song called "Ah, Je Vous dirai-je maman" and it's the tune we now know as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Mozart wrote a famous set of variations for piano on this now internationally know tune. Dr. Tomatis was huge proponent of the health benefits of Mozart's music and an expert on the development of the ear in the unborn child. Don Campbell and I both studied with Dr. Tomatis and Don subsequently wrote "The Mozart Effect" and I subsequently produced a "Lullaby CD." You can buy the lullaby CD with Mozart's lullaby on it now!

Mozart: Good for Weddings?


As you probably know by now, I was at a family wedding in Las Vegas this past week-end and was looking for evidence of healing music everywhere I went. Not surprisingly, the only really beautiful healing music I heard was at the actual wedding. The pre-wedding music as well as the wedding music was a medley of famous classical music pieces, including Mozart. Even though the wedding was outside and the weather was a little bit "shivery," the music was beautiful and relaxing. It did truly set the tone for a spiritual and long-lasting commitment. Mozart is always a good choice for weddings. Let me know if I can help you!
