Natalie Merchant, Leave Your Sleep

I'm always on the look-out for songs suitable for children. I've mentioned the French singer Sophie Forte before.

I've just discovered Natalie Merchant and her album Leave Your Sleep. A wonderful selection of songs, for an older age group.

Listen to her interpretation of Calicoe Pie, a poem by Edward Lear, and discover some other delightful and sensitive settings, including Spring and Fall  (the poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins)..
