《天伦乐》共收入乐曲15首,都是在一些普通人喜闻乐见的古典小品、诗歌、童谣的基础上进行创新化的改编而成的,精巧的编曲与配词使作品的可听性大增。除了管弦乐团的演奏,合唱团的演唱,另有女高音、女中音和男中音和人声朗诵。其中像“铃声响了,我们是儿童”(BELLS,WE ARE CHILDREN)一曲以莫扎特的原作为主干,同时又把莫扎特另一作品《魔笛》中的铃铛音乐移植到此曲中,铃声、人声旁白与童声演唱真是交融无间,非常富有感染力。
像上述天衣无缝的“多体裁与多原作”交融的作品在本碟中比比皆是:“初星”(THE FIRST STAR)一曲是巴赫、古诺的《圣母颂》片段与童谣旁白的结合;“牧羊人的颂赞”(SHEPHERD' THEME)一曲是勃拉姆斯、舒伯特的田园小品与贝多芬第6交响曲《田园》之“牧人颂赞”片段的结合;“云肯、布林肯与诺德”(WYNKEN,BLYNKEN AND NOD)一曲是巴赫《G弦上的咏叹调》与传统儿歌的结合;“摇呀摇,小宝宝”(ROCK-A-BYE BABY)是柴可夫斯基第1钢琴协奏曲第2乐章、贝多芬第8交响曲第2乐章与童谣的结合……
