    A heartwarming and tender collection of Armenian lullabies and night songs,
    including traditional selections as well as original compositions.
    As night falls, moonlight shimmers upon a world where a mother sings an
    "oror" (lullaby) for her little one. Like music, the language of a mother's
    love is universal, and the sentimental themes of this CD speak to the hopes
    and dreams of every family, culture, and nation. Featuring songs written by
    her parents Annig Zindarsian an d Earl Zindars, the CD offers an interesting
    blend of styles with crossover appeal into the genres of folk, jazz, and
    classical music. The CD also features many traditional Armenian melodies, as
    well as some re-discovered treasures of Armenian music.
