The first sounds were used to help an infant fall asleep. Over time, these cradle songs became traditional songs, some of them passing on cultural information. For example, Rock a bye Baby, a 17th century song created in America. The person may have observed a native american baby swinging in its cradle from a tree branch. Composers also created lullabies. One of the most famous, by Johannes Brahms, Good Evening, Good Night was published in 1868.
