Welcome
New Lullaby is a beautiful, perceptive, and evocative performance that earns and deserves your rapt appreciation. Most of all, however, it felt to me like a courageous exploration of a mood or a state that is rarely identified, and these days all-too rarely enjoyed: attentive peacefulness.

Why a Lullaby?
In early 2006 Aaron released his debut album, Tracing a wheel on water, on which he recorded an Afro-Cuban lullaby arranged by Leo Brouwer (track 5). Tracing a wheel on water also included a wide range of music from the last 100 years, but whether hearing it in a live concert or from the Tracing CD, people always spoke about how the lullaby "got ’em".
He asked himself why this simple piece of music could grab so much attention? The other works were also highly praised, but none got as much public reaction as the lullaby.
Was it the simplicity or beauty of that particular melody or did people just need a rest? Many people suggested an album of lullabies with a focus on famous ones arranged for guitar, but that has been done and the idea did not intrigue Aaron. Being passionate for contemporary music, he decided to bring the two worlds together: have living composers write brief new compositions for solo guitar in the genre of a lullaby!
And with that the New Lullaby Project created, and the next day he practiced.
Who's afraid of a Lullaby?!
The Future…
With close to 50 New Lullabies collected, Aaron continues to spread the sound. An all-ages New Lullaby program debuted in 2011 and much more is on the way. Go to www.AaronLC.com/calendar for the latest concerts. A series or anthology is being planned for the scores.
