"Lullabies Around the World" is a collection of five international lullabies arranged for SATB choir, soloists, instruments, and piano by Daniel Carter. Rock-a-Bye, Baby is a traditional lullaby from the UK arranged SATB A cappella Choir. Arrangments in the collection are for concert choirs in education, community, and civic music organizations. They provide a varied program repertoire.

Other notes about this arrangement: The imagery of a cradle in the tree-top being rocked by the wind is both comforting and alarmingly dangerous. Nonetheless, mother is there to comfort the child and keep safe from all danger. Paralleling danger against safety is a bold and strong contrast that reinforces the depth of love a mother has for a child and should be expressed vividly with dynamic contrasts and word-painting.
