3. Johannes Brahms – Wiegenlied
OK, this 1868 lullaby (probably) wasn’t composed for Princess Charlotte. But it’s the most famous lullaby in the world, and you can't help but sing 'Go to sleep, go to sleep,' along with it. Brahms’ beautiful tune is also known as ‘Cradle Song’, and the lyrics are from a collection of German folk poems called Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Picture: Getty
