What is the most famous lullaby in the world? Of course this one:
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
The lights went out in the house.
The bees are quiet in the garden
The fish fell asleep in the pond
The moon shines in the sky
The moon looks out the window...
Close your eyes rather
Sleep, my joy, sleep.
In 1825, Mozart's widow Constance sent this lullaby to the publisher of Mozart's compositions, noting: "The work is lovely, in all respects Mozartian, direct, inventive." Three years later, the lullaby was printed as an appendix to Mozart's biography, which Constance wrote with her second husband, Georg von Nissen. Since that time, "Mozart's lullaby" was included in the collections of his works, and the German poet Matthias Claudius (1740-1815) was indicated as the author of the text.
However, Mozart's sister Nannerl did not confirm the version of her brother's authorship, and Constance herself eventually doubted this. There were musicologists who argued that the music of the lullaby is not like Mozart's: it is too simple and unpretentious; even the simplest songs of Mozart are more complex.
And at the end of the XIX century. the German musicologist Max Friedländer established that the music for the lullaby was written and published in 1796 by Bernhard Flies, a Berlin physician and amateur composer. All that is known about Flies is that he was born around 1770 into a family of Jewish merchants, baptized in 1798, and on March 18, 1791 organized in Berlin a charity concert memory of Mozart. The words of the lullaby belong to Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter (1746-1797). They are taken from his play "Esther", staged in Leipzig in 1795. This play was a modern adaptation of the biblical Book of Esther, and the lullaby was sung by the choir of Esther's servants. Note that in the original the song begins with the words "Sleep, my prince", and ends with: "Sleep, my prince, sleep." French translation: "Sleep, my little prince." Isn't that where Antoine Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince came from?
In Nazi Germany, they returned to the old version of the authorship of Mozart. The musicologist Herbert Gehrigk, publisher of the Nazi party magazine Music at War, stated in the April-May 1944 issue of his magazine that the version of Flies's authorship was nothing more than a "monstrous falsification" needed by the "Jew Max Friedländer" to take away the authorship of the lullaby from the Aryans.
Not so long ago, another contender for authorship was discovered - the German composer Johann Fleischmann, who died in 1798 at the age of 32. Fleischmann arranged several Mozart operas for wind instruments, and in 1796 he published music for Gotter's lullaby, the beginning of which almost coincides with the music of Flies.
The Russian translation of the lullaby appeared very late - in 1924. It belonged to Sofia Sviridenko (born in 1882, year of death unknown). In the first publication, the lullaby began with the line "Sleep, my prince, sleep" - exactly according to the German text - and the line "Sleep, my joy, sleep" was repeated three times in the conclusion. In the second edition of the translation (1925), the lullaby began with the words "Sleep, my beloved, sleep." But very soon it began to be performed with the first line "Sleep, my joy, sleep" - apparently, without any participation of the translator.
In 1932, another translation appeared - Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky: “Sleep, my son, without worries”, (...) / Sleep, my dear son.” But this translation did not take root with us and sunk into oblivion.
Sviridenko's translation is quite close to the original. But his most famous line - "Sleep, my joy, sleep" - does not belong to Gotter or Sofia Sviridenko. It is taken from the "Lullaby" by Konstantin Balmont, published in his collection "Under the Northern Sky" (1894) and extremely popular at the beginning of the 20th century:
Fragrant linden flowers are blooming...
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
The night will envelop us in gentle twilight,
Lights will be lit in the distant sky,
The wind will whisper mysteriously about something,
And we will forget the past days
And we will forget the torment to come...
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
(...)
Oh my swallow, oh my baby
In the cold world with you we are alone
We will share joy and sorrow equally,
Cling closer to a reliable heart,
We won't change, we won't break up
We will be together night and day.
Let's calm down together with you...
Sleep, my joy, sleep!

Who does not know the gentle and harmonious lullaby "Sleep, my joy, sleep." The melody is so comfortable for the voice that it has received the widest circulation for its more than 200 summer story. Almost everyone now knows the words to this lullaby. And until recently, most publishers of sheet music and performers were sure that this music was V.A. Mozart. But actually it is not!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)
In 1825, Mozart's widow Constance sent this lullaby to the publisher of Mozart's compositions, noting: "The work is lovely, in all respects Mozartian, direct, inventive."

Since that time, "Mozart's lullaby" was included in the collections of his works, and the German poet Matthias Claudius (1740-1815) was indicated as the author of the text.

However, Mozart's sister Nannerl did not confirm the version of her brother's authorship, and Constance herself eventually doubted this. There were musicologists who argued that the music of the lullaby is not like Mozart's: it is too simple and unpretentious; even the simplest songs of Mozart are more complex.
Maria Anna Walburga Ignatius Mozart (1751-1829) is the elder sister of Wolfgang Amadeus. In the family circle and among friends, Maria Anna was called Nannerl.
And at the end of the XIX century. the German musicologist Max Friedländer established that the music for the lullaby was written and published in 1796 by Bernhard Flies, a Berlin physician and amateur composer.

William Bouguereau "A Young Mother Looks at a Sleeping Child"
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
The lights went out in the house;
The bees are quiet in the garden
The fish fell asleep in the pond
The moon shines in the sky
The moon looks out the window...
Close your eyes rather
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
Sleep, sleep!
Everything in the house was quiet for a long time,
In the cellar, in the kitchen it's dark,
No door creaks
The mouse is sleeping behind the stove.
Someone sighed behind the wall -
What do we care, dear?
Close your eyes rather
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
Sleep, sleep!
Sweetly my chick lives:
There are no worries, no worries;
Plenty of toys, sweets,
Lots of fun stuff.
Hurry up to get everything
If only the baby did not cry!
May it be like this all day long!
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
Sleep, sleep!

And catch the feather of the Firebird.

“Long day, chains of the day swim for apples”
“Long day, the chains of the day swim for apples” - this is the song on the TV channel “Belarus-3” that “Kalykhanka” ends with. The magical music of Vasily Rainchik and the words of Gennady Buravkin are the best fit for a friend.
Attempts by the leadership in 2008 to replace the now native "kalykhanka" performed by Lika Yalinskaya with a new one performed by Irina Dorofeeva were unsuccessful. And for more than 20 years this lullaby has been putting little Belarusians to sleep.

On the grey-haired seas.
And all night the neighbors - star bears -
Shine on distant ships.

A cricket sings behind the stove,
Don't cry, calm down, son
Look, it's frosty outside the window,
Bright starry night
Bright starry night
Bright starry night.
Well, if there is no bread,
Look at the clear sky
The stars are shining in the sky
The moon floats on a boat
The moon floats on a boat
The moon floats on a boat.
You sleep and I will sing to you
How good it is in heaven
Like us gray cat
Will take you to heaven in a sleigh,
Will take you to heaven in a sleigh,
Will take you to heaven in a sled.
There will be joy in heaven
There will be sweets
There will be new boots
And honey cakes
And honey cakes
And honey cakes.
Well, get some rest
I'll give you a golden saber
Just sleep soon, son
My restless cricket,
My restless cricket,
My restless cricket.

The story of a lullaby. | Mozart's riddle: whose "joy" falls asleep?
James Sant The artist"s wife Elizabeth with their daughter Mary Edith
What is the most famous lullaby in the world? Of course this one:
V. Tolkunova - Sleep my joy sleep..
Sleep, my joy, sleep!

I was looking for a baby lullaby for the next post and was surprised that the authorship of the music for the song "Sleep, my joy, sleep" is attributed to W. A. Mozart.

Sleep, my darling, go to sleep!
The house lights went out;
Bees were quiet in the garden,
fish sleeping in a pond,
Month in heaven shines
A Month in the window looking...
eyes rather somknite,
Go to sleep, go to sleep!
The house was quiet for a long time,
In the cellar, the kitchen is dark,
The door is not one squeak
Mouse over the stove sleeps.
someone sighed behind the wall
What are we to work, dear?
eyes rather somknite,
Sleep, my darling, go to sleep!
Go to sleep, go to sleep!
My sweet little bird lives:
There is no worries, no worries;
Plenty of toys, sweets,
Plenty of fun bells
All the while to get haste,
Only to not cry, baby!
We ought to let it all day!
Sleep, my darling, go to sleep!
Go to sleep, go to sleep!
