In later August, 1996, Mirzoyev accompanied Alexander Fiseisky when he gave a special recital to the children, families, and townsfolk of Dunblane in memory of the children and teacher murdered in the primary school by a local resident, at which he gave the first performance of Lullaby written by Mirzoyev as a gift to the community in memory of the children.
The recital was designed to help the children and community in their gradual recovery towards a more normal life. From the start it was planned to be a very happy occasion for the children, and the plans probably raised a few quizzical eyebrows, yet it was realised the programme would be likely to bring peals of laughter and joy, as it did.
The programme was conceived as a kind of Organ Mass, surrounding it with Bach's St Anne Prelude and Fugue, with the fun and games inside.
Some two months beforehand the children and parents had been told to bring some very unexpected things to the cathedral in order
