This is a widely known lullaby. Edo is the old name for Tokyo. Slee, sleep - you're a good little boy, sleep now. Little boy, where's your nursemaid gone? Across that mountain, back to her home. |

The original melody of this piece is a lullaby from the Edo period (Edo was the name for Tokyo before it became the capital of Japan). Although similar to the melodic construction of other types of music from the same period, its simple phrases reveal a folk origin. This arrangement for six players is by the Ensemble's artistic director, Minoru Miki.
