Two beloved artists come together for JUNGLE NIGHT, a soothing (well, MOSTLY soothing) bedtime story and instrumental lullaby. The small animated film begins with a narration of Boynton's Jungle Night book, with all the animal snores interpreted by the expressive and playful cello of Yo-Yo Ma. He even does the elephant's stop-the-show snore-though admittedly that took Ma's cello PLUS the horn salute of the James R. Barker Great Lakes steamship. The reading is followed by “Jungle Gymnopédie No. 1", a polyrhythmic jungly arrangement by Boynton of Erik Satie's renowned and beloved piece. "Yo-Yo and I chose this piece because it's the most gorgeous and mesmerizing night song imaginable," she explains. "And there was surely nothing else that could possibly get those animals backs to sleep after the elephant blast."

Absolute pure magic! Thank you so much from a 65 year old retired librarian and huge fan of your work and Yo Yo Ma’s.
......Always did love Yo-Yo Ma........his music is a gift for all of us.....”Zing...! Went the strings of my heart........! 💋
This is delightful! The cellist lion in the musical part moves his fingers on the cello's fingerboard to the exact position that YoYo Ma would put his in playing the Satie melody
- with added vibrato. So wonderful!
Delightful - What blessings you are Sandra Boynton and Yo-Yo Ma
I've taught this piece many times to my piano students. The percussion is an inventive addition. All lovely.
I, too, heard it on NPR this morning! And I must share with my 27 year-old to bring back memories of animals and music...
I sought this out after hearing you and YoYo on NPR this morning. Such a delight.
DITTO!!!!
Me too!
@@suzangreen6122 Me tooo!!!

@@suzangreen6122 😂😂😊😊sss😂
Too too wonderful! So glad I can watch it over and over! What a combo: Boynton and Ma!
Love the story, but really loved the music featuring Yo-Yo Ma! Would love to purchase the song. :)
Nicely expanded from Snoozers! One of my kids favorite nighttime stories. 💖💖💖
I had to buy this for my niece after hearing this on NPR
This needs more views! Great music for kids and toddlers. Add your item on for TH-cam algorithm
I came hunting for Sandra Boynton today because I found a limited edition coffee bag she designed that I’d forgotten I had. Winchell Mountain Coffee with Sandra’s “Outstanding in the Field” artwork. ❤️😊
That is so interesting , Thank you ありがとうございます。大人が見ても超 楽しいです。
Love this! Sending to my grandchild!! Thank you both!
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
This Is my favourite
Sandra writes and illustrates very funny/cute animal books that are so good that they appeal to adults too.
Wow!, I have to figure out how to use this in my elementary lesson plans! I have long loved this Erik Satie song on piano, but the combination of the Sandra Boynton story, illustrations and this song with Yo Yo Ma on cello takes it to the next level! What an awesome combination! My students and grandchildren are going to love it as much as I!
Heard you on Scott Simon this morning. This is lovely simply lovely! This animation is charming. Having a jungle animal turning the pages is genius!
Apparently our son is not the only person who does not want to be known ONLY for the cello! 😂
Beautiful. Love it!
I LOVE THIS! I'm sharing it with my Kinders tmrw. This is so beautiful. Thank you!!!
Soooo sweet!!❤️
I love this so much!! Thank you @sandraboynton and @yoyoma
Brilliant. I love the detail you go to for the Cellist. Amazing.
Was in a museum about 11-years ago, and Erik Satie Gymnopédie No.1 came on while I was staring at a painting. The song mesmerized me. It instantly became a favorite. After hearing the story on NPR one Saturday morning, I had to investigate this gem of a mix. Very cool indeed.
P.S. The scene after the elephant snores showing all the animals awake is so hilarious.
Was just about to call it a night when this popped up in my feed. What a perfectly magical bedtime story & song! Thank you :)

My kiddo loves this! But I keep hearing the drum in 4/4 and melody in 3/4. Anyone else?
Yo Yo Ma 😊

I bought this and sent it to my niece who is having a baby. How does she get the free downloads of this audio?
😊 🐭
Same experience!
Can you make the same vídeo but with the barnyard dance book ??? Please ???
I read this to my son. He is 24. Who thumbs down anything really. Be positive or STFU.
In Loving Memory Of Jamie McEwan
The Wikipedia page doesn’t mention anything about her dying! Her husband Jamie McEwan died of cancer in 2014 but she is very much alive.

I love this soooooo much, BUT what is up with the drums during gymnopedie? They are not even playing in the same time signature or even matching the music at all!!
Yep, that's the point! The drums and guitar have different time signatures to create a polyrhythm. From the description:
"The reading is followed by “Jungle Gymnopédie No. 1", a polyrhythmic jungly arrangement by Boynton of Erik Satie's renowned and beloved piece."
The drums and all the instruments are perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing
Is the person reading Samuel L Jackson?
you need to adjust the content
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
