Qui-Don-Jinn 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Greetings all,The other evening in putting my 7-month old daughter down for a nap, I found myself humming some film score themes, specifically "Princess Leia's Theme" and "Ilia's Theme," after running through some of the standard lullabies.I was wondering if others have used film themes for the same purpose and, if so, which?Cheers,Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poltergeist features something along those lines.Some of Williams's themes for the Home Alone films and Hook would do nicely, as well.I myself have never hummed (or whistled) anything for the purpose of lulling someone to sleep, though.

Delorean90 42 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yeah, "Carol Anne's Theme" from Poltergeist is what I thought of immediately. One of the loveliest Goldsmith melodies I've heard--it would be nice to have a concert suite of it without the giggling, though. Freakin' eerie.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Not necessarily as lullabies, but I have, in the past, hummed The Raiders March and Ewok Celebration to my son, which he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I imagine the Love Theme From Superman would be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibug 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 How about Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter? Besides, Somewhere in my Memory comes to mind...And don't forget Fluffy's Harp, beautiful one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTater 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 "Yoda's Theme" from The Empire Strikes Back"Luke and Leia" from Return Of The Jedi "Anakin's Theme" from The Phantom MenaceTo me, those are quiet, tender melodies that would work as lullabies, the first one I mentioned especially.

Melange 446 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 My vote would always go for Bedtime Story from Jerry's Capricorn One.Granted, after 1:33 the music is more likely to make your child think there is an evil spirit in the room. But the first one and half minutes are lovely. The scene is actually a mother comforting a child, reading Dr Seuss, after the 'apparent' loss of her husband.
