H Fairest LadyNick Page. This gentle lullaby
based on a nursery rhyme uses London Bridge Is
Falling Down as a descant over a soothing original
melody and accompaniment. The peaceful moment
is a loving lullaby for a fair little lady whose mother
reassures her that London Bridge will not fall down,
rather it will fly away. Sensitive and touching.
