Abstract This song cycle is a set of poems by A.E. Stallings, Eugene Field, and Joyce Stephen. The poems provide glimpses of childhood from a mother's point of view--starting with the excitement and wonder at viewing the very first ultrasound; continuing with the sweet sounds of an infant's lullaby; the expressions of wonder, thrill and fear of a toddler as he listens to Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf;" and finally, to wistful memories brought back to life by old photographs.
