Music reviews of Lullaby
Music Review: Music that makes one heart swell and soul soar
Rating: 5 Stars
While teaching English one short summer in-and-around Fukuoka City my host mother had suggested this album to me as a way of staying musically connected. I have to say that, even after 4 years, I still listen to this album, religiously, as it allows me to transport myself far away from all of my troubles and into a realm of deep peace and contentment. Never before have I come accross a sound that has so richly enhanced my surroundings as to allow me to begin several of my nights' rests with an outward smile engraved on my face. "Wonderful" and "fantastic" are hardly strong enough words perscribe my recommending this enchanting work of art.

Description of Lullaby
Like a watercolor brush stroke, the sound of the koto spreads through your heart. The simple beauty of these traditional Japanese lullabies and nursery songs hearkens back to the carefree days of childhood.To enhance your enjoyment of the music, fragrant incense sticks are included in the spine of the CD jewel case.
(Also try "Color" by this artist!)
A mixture of traditional compositions, original works, and contemporary music by other composers, Mizuyo Komiya's Lullaby exploits the beautiful sounds of a 25-string sou, which is a modern reinvention of the traditional 13-string koto. Allowing for greater melodic possibilities, the instrument also recalls the tonality of a harp but with an Eastern tuning system. This modern koto is the focal point of the album; however, some surreptitious keyboards from Kiyoshi Yoshida and producer Kazumasa Yoshioka provide atmospheric augmentation in certain spots. The strength of Lullaby lies in its multifaceted expression. Komiya is not content to noodle about, instead contrasting contemplation with motion, and balancing sparse passages with gracefully restrained displays of musical dexterity. The opening track "Path" balances slow-moving koto with light keyboard swirls; the delicate, dreamy "I've Felt Little Autumn" is propelled by an enchanting melodic structure; and the flittering strings within "Ho Ho Hotaru Koi I" provide an eerie, gripping bridge to an otherwise meditative instrumental work. The compositions on Lullaby are short and sweet--the 12 tracks add up to approximately 44 minutes--and these serene works are concise enough to inspire repeated listenings and long enough to linger in your memory after listening. A charming, nonmusical bonus: look for four incense sticks placed within the jewel case itself, evidently a staple of Pacific Moon releases. --Bryan Reesman
