Classical for Sleeping

Curated for the sole purpose of weaving dreams through melodies, the "Classical for Sleeping" playlist is your gateway to uninterrupted slumber, a gentle companion through the night. Among its choice selections, you'll find the soft, undulating rhythms of Mendelssohn's "Venetianisches Gondellied," promising to transport you to serene Venetian waters under a moonlit sky. Lili Boulanger's "Nocturne," in its cello and piano arrangement, adds a layer of profound calm, embracing listeners in a cocoon of tranquility.

Bach's "Aria variata in A Minor, BWV 989: Aria," with its repetitive, soothing structure, serves as a lullaby for the restless mind, while the gentle sarabande from Handel's "Almira" further eases tensions, its baroque elegance a reminder of simpler times. The playlist also nods to the operatic with Puccini's "Madama Butterfly, SC 74, Act II: Coro a bocca chiusa," a chorus that whispers rather than roars, its beauty lying in its subdued mystery.

Transitioning through the night, Brahms' "Wiegenlied," a classic lullaby, acts as a soft whisper ushering in dreams, while Debussy's "La fille aux cheveux de lin," reimagined for flute and piano, flutters like a gentle breeze. Unwind to the hauntingly beautiful "Clair de Lune" by Debussy and the meditative "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt, each piece carefully selected to guide you into a restful sleep. From Baroque to Romantic, from solo piano to string quartet arrangements, this playlist encompasses a spectrum of classical music's most tranquil moments, perfect for those seeking solace in the quiet hours of the night.
