ABC Classics presents an album of nursery rhymes and children’s songs in delightful new arrangements, featuring two of Australia’s foremost singers.

Andrew Ford, one of Australia’s best-known composers and musical commentators, has collected songs familiar and neglected, giving beautiful new settings and accompaniments to beloved tunes and featuring a wide range of instruments. ‘The variety was important,‘ Ford says. ‘I wanted these songs to stand plenty of repetition, and was thinking not only of the children who might listen, but also their parents and grandparents!’
