'Kehtolaulu (Hiljaa, hiljaa)' is a beautiful lullaby composed by Finnish composer Armas Järnefelt. The piece was composed in 1904 and premiered in Helsinki, Finland. The lullaby is a part of Järnefelt's collection of piano pieces titled 'Berceuse', which was published in 1905. 'Kehtolaulu (Hiljaa, hiljaa)' is a gentle and soothing piece that captures the essence of a lullaby. The piece is written in the key of F major and has a slow tempo. The melody is simple and repetitive, with a gentle rise and fall that mimics the rhythm of a lullaby. The piece is written in 3/4 time signature, which adds to the gentle and flowing nature of the piece. The lullaby is divided into two main sections, with the first section being repeated at the end of the piece. The first section begins with a simple melody played in the right hand, accompanied by a gentle arpeggio in the left hand. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, adding a sense of development to the piece. The second section of the piece is more complex, with a more intricate melody played in the right hand and a more active accompaniment in the left hand. The second section builds to a climax before returning to the gentle melody of the first section. 'Kehtolaulu (Hiljaa, hiljaa)' is a beautiful example of Järnefelt's ability to capture the essence of a lullaby in music. The piece is gentle, soothing, and calming, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing piece of music. The lullaby has become a popular choice for parents looking for a gentle and calming piece of music to play for their children at bedtime.
