“Hushabye”
features Timeless Tunes
that Reach
beyond the Realm of Lullabies
“Hushabye” dedicated
to the Royal Couple’s
soon-to-be
born Baby of Cambridge
June 26,
2013 --- The
Baby of Cambridge may not be born yet, but he or she has already received his
or her first musical dedication – a lullaby. The biggest selling classical
artist of the 21st century Hayley
Westenra has teamed up with royal wedding composer Paul Mealor for an album
of lullabies dedicated to Prince William’s and Kate Middleton’s royal tot.
“Hushabye”, released
under MCA Music (Universal Music
Philippines), comprises a careful selection of music that will calm and
soothe both children and adults alike. Her voice compliments the considered
orchestration, with acoustic guitar, piano, flute and warm strings, creating an
atmosphere of peace and tranquility. This album includes bedtime favourites
such as Hushabye Mountain and Twinkle Twinkle, alongside timeless
classics that reach beyond the realm of lullabies, like Dream A Little Dream of Me and All
Through the Night. The track Sleep On
was specially written by Paul Mealor and world renowned composer Brendan Graham
(lyricist for ‘You Raise Me Up’). Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke &
Duchess of Cambridge personally chose Mealor’s music for
their wedding back in 2011.
Hayley
Westenra has sold over four million albums in her career and holds the
accolade of the biggest selling classical album of the 21st century. She is
also an advocate for the youth. As one of the youngest ever ambassadors for
UNICEF, she raises awareness of the desperate situations faced by innumerable
children around the world. She has supported several educational projects, such
as providing bikes for children in Ghana, enabling them to attend school and
find a better future.
