Music for Mothers - A perfect gift for a mother 'For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.' William Ross Wallace This album is for the mother in repose, the mother with five minutes to relax, the mother with fond memories of happy times. The musical programme has been created to provide music to relax with, and music which was written with children and childlike thoughts in mind. Debussy's 'Children's Corner' and Schumann's 'Scenes from Childhood' are amongst the most famous of musical works conceived - from an adult perspective - with children in mind, but there is plenty of music here, too, which is purely adult in concept, and which has been programmed into this album for its soothing and healing qualities for the end, or the middle, of a tiring day. 'Every man, for the sake of the great blessed Mother in Heaven, and for the love of his own little mother on earth, should handle all womankind gently, and hold them in all Honour.' - Alfred Lord Tennyson Martin Souter piano, Sarah Hill harp, Jon Banks harp, The Victoria Singers directed by Sarah Tenant-Flowers.
