Here is the Cradle Song by Johannes Brahms arranged as a violin duet! The original title is "Wiegenlied: Guten Abend, gute Nacht," and it was written in 1868. The lyrics were originally in German, but there is an English version. I don't think I've ever heard anyone actually sing the actual words to this song - I've only heard people hum it. It has a very pretty and recognizable melody!
This duet and backing track was arranged from this version:

Here is some additional information about the original version that this music was arranged from:
Editor: Max Friedlaender (1852–1934)
Publisher Info.: Brahms-Album (mittlere Stimme) Berlin: N. Simrock, n.d.
Reprinted: Leipzig: Edition Peters, No.3201b, n.d.(ca.1900). Plate 9313.

Misc. Notes:
Edition for middle voice (No. 4 original key)
Scanned at 600dpi grayscale, converted to monochrome.
Only volume 1 of the Peters Brahms songs was ever released in a middle voice edition.
The notes were transcribed to D major and two additional harmonies were added.
I can't believe the trees have flowers on them already, and I didn't need a coat to go outside! We're already halfway through April!! I could have sworn yesterday was December.. Time sure does fly!
The wind kicked up for the right side of the video..It's a little goofy having half the video look windy.. ^_^;
Thank you for watching! If you liked this video, please subscribe for more violin videos every Tuesday!
