Workshops | Lulajże mi, lulaj – traditional lullabies | Julita Charytoniuk (POL) | age 18+ | REGISTRATION
We invite you to a workshop on singing traditional lullabies from several regions of Poland and Ukraine. The session will be led by Julita Charytoniuk. We will do breathing and voice exercises that will help relax the body and voice and prepare us for singing. No previous musical training is required to take part in the workshop.
Lullabies.
Sung in a calm, gentle voice, with tenderness and without haste, in a rhythm that accompanied rocking a child and helped them relax. They created a sense of safety and closeness.
Singing lullabies is a practice that goes beyond the function of putting a child to sleep – it is a form of intergenerational transmission through which melodies, linguistic patterns, emotions, and values rooted in local culture are preserved. Lullabies performed by parents, grandparents, or caregivers create a space of closeness, support the building of bonds, and carry memory. In their simple melodies and repetitive texts, traces of old beliefs and descriptions of everyday life can be found, passed down orally from generation to generation.
