Abstract
In this chapter Garrido and Davidson consider examples of music used to celebrate the birth of a child in various cultural contexts and historical time periods, from the birth songs of the Ututu people of Nigeria, to the composition of Edward Elgar’s Nursery Suite to commemorate the birth of Princess Margaret of England. Modern day music choices used during birth as well as during post-birth celebrations in the modern day such as christenings or naming ceremonies are also discussed, highlighting the unfurling narrative of cultural variation and change over time.
