thanks for the tip about the Classical Archives, Bellowbelle. It's a valuable site. Have you ever been to the Classical Music MIDI Connection?
Masato: an error has crept in. "Schlaf, Kindchen, schlaf" is a different song. It means "sleep, little child, sleep." Years ago it was a favorite on a TV show called Romper Room, and all the preschoolers knew it.
I wonder if the memory has been preserved. Will anyone who hangs around little American kids please tell me if they still know "Sleep, baby, sleep?"
