Product Description

A Berceuse is a musical composition, usually in 6/8 time, that resembles a lullaby. The term "berceuse" originates from the French word "bercer," meaning "to rock," and ultimately from the Old French word "bers," which means "cradle." These compositions are typically soothing and reflective, often used to aid sleep, with a simple tonal structure alternating between tonic and dominant harmonies. Berceuses are known for their tendency to stay on the "flat side" and are commonly written in D. Famous composers like Chopin, Liszt, and Balakirev have created notable berceuses. Overall, a berceuse can be either a cradlesong, lullaby, or an instrumental piece reminiscent of these characteristics, often in 6/8 time.
