"Lullaby of the Leaves" is a musical composition by composer Bernice Petkere and lyricist Joe Young.
A Tin Pan Alley song first performed in 1932, the jazz standard is considered the biggest critical and commercial success of Petkere's composing career.
[3] By January 1933, more than 50,000 copies had been sold in the U.S.—ten times more than the usual hit song of the era.
[7][8] Since 2002, jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman has been performing his unique arrangement of the song, especially as part of the Jeff Hamilton Trio.
From 2019 to 2020, Italian ice dancers Jasmine Tessari and Francesco Fioretti skated to Beth Hart's rendition of the song in competitions.
