Thursday morning Grieg, a Berceuse
I just looked up what a Berceuse is.... it's a lullaby, or soothing composition... This version would have to be considered a fairly robust rendering of the style.
if one examines for each infant the stimulus (lullaby )inducing sleep the fastest, 42% fell asleep faster with the lullaby, 33% with the corresponding music and only 25 % in the silent condition. In conclusion, if adults recognize well the lullabies, as previously shown, and consider that lullabies have a real soothing effect on infants, we could suppose that the real effect on infants is provoked by the musical environment by itself, be it a lullaby or another kind of corresponding music.
