Description:
My mother was a wonderful gardener with a well-cultivated perennial garden. She passed away in the fall to join the Lord in his glorious Garden. I felt my loss so keenly through the winter, but when spring came and her garden bloomed, it brought me great comfort. Each harp instrumental on this album is like a flower carefully chosen and arranged to create a bouquet for you. May it bring you comfort and hope.
Try a sample by clicking on one or more of the small round arrow buttons on the left. Then relax, settle in, and let the music flow around you and into the quiet places in your soul that yearn to be nourished.
“A Bouquet from My Mother’s Garden”
Dear Susan,
Your CD arrived in Thursday morning’s mail, and what perfect timing for me! I was in the final throes of spit-polishing and packing my paintings for the show, and your incredibly beautiful recording soothed me right up to the final wrapping in paper and loading them into my portfolio. It’s such a beautiful CD – your skillful handling of each piece is incredible. I don’t know the correct music vocabulary for what I want to say – but I felt as if you were in the room playing for us – each piece has such tender phrasing, nuances, and lovely sparkles of sound. Well, it’s just fabulous!
