LISTEN
Hear the movement sing
Every Ercolano music box carries an 18-note wind-up movement, tuned by hand. This is what it sounds like.
THE 18-NOTE MOVEMENT
Wind the key, lift the lid
A steel comb, a brass cylinder, and a melody that has travelled from Sorrento for generations.
THE MELODIES
Songs of Sorrento
Au Clair de Lune
A French lullaby from the 18th century — simple, tender, timeless.
Brahms' Lullaby
The world's most beloved cradle song, written by Brahms in 1868.
Blue Danube
Strauss's waltz — Vienna's river caught in three-quarter time.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Mozart's serenade, bright and unmistakable from the first note.
Für Elise
Beethoven's best-known bagatelle — a tender phrase everyone recognises.
Moonlight Sonata
Beethoven's nocturne — slow, luminous, made for a quiet room.
Ode to Joy
Beethoven's hymn to happiness, the melody the whole world knows.
Spring
Spring, from Vivaldi's Four Seasons — birdsong rendered in strings.
Swan Lake
Tchaikovsky's theme — graceful, longing, unmistakably romantic.
Waltz of the Flowers
From Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker — a whirl of movement and colour.
