The eighth movement, 'Lullaby of the Mountains', is a majestic and grand piece that celebrates the beauty and power of the mountains. The ninth movement, 'Lullaby of the Fields', is a pastoral and idyllic piece that captures the simplicity and beauty of the countryside. The tenth movement, 'Lullaby of the Birds', is a lively and playful piece that captures the joy and energy of birds in flight. The eleventh movement, 'Lullaby of the Flowers', is a delicate and fragrant piece that celebrates the beauty and grace of flowers.
