About work

“Lullabies for the birds and Little Creatures” is a collage of works of two authors, Arsenije Jovanovic and Predrag Stamenkovic. The title of the program was taken from the name of the piece by Arsenije Jovanovic inspired to some extend on Orthodox Byzantine Chant Terirem, the Bogorodica Lullaby for the Little Christ (Mother of God Lullaby) and choir oratorio “Liturgy” by Serbian composer Mokranjac. Predrag Stamenkovic composed his piece upon an old Serbian folk lullaby so the whole Radio Belgrade program could be regarded as ars acoustica Lullaby for AB2009. Sleep well.
