November 24, 2005: Uplifting, Spiritual, relaxing music. I imagine this is good to be use as lullabies . I imagine it helps to turn this on very low and light to sleeping babies as background music . I keep my choral CD's durimg my commute for work and errands for years and years and love them . Thanks
