Happy summer, everyone! 
Today's episode is a live performance given by a wonderful duo (Mark Evans, cello and Charlie Nilles, bass) from the National Symphony Orchestra.  This is their own arrangement of a piece originally written for violin and cello.  The lower voice captures the rocking rhythm of the cradle, while the melody reminds me of a lullaby. 
 
Performed by:
Mark Evans, cello
Charlie Nilles, bass
 
Special thanks to Mark and Charlie for generously donating this recording to the podcast!
