After the big success of the Nursery Rhyme Collection in England producer and arranger Ian Watts and his German co-arranger Mike Wilbury decided to launch a similar project with traditional German Songs. Most tunes came up centuries ago but some tracks are actually brand new, exclusively written for this collection.

Background notesThis song is based on the famous poem of Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815). Many composers have put this poem into music, like Carl Orff and Franz Schubert to name just a few, but the most famous tune was composed by Johann Abraham Peter Schulz (1747 – 1800). The song is very famous in Germany but almost unknown in England. However, there is an English version to be found on the Nursery Rhyme Collection |
