Although many of my albums contain soft and gentle music, I have been often asked for a pure solo harp album of soft soothing music for rest and relaxation without support from any other kind of instrumentation. This is my answer to this request. I have taken the very best tunes from my repertiore and recorded them with just the harp - no other instruments appear on this album whatsoever - in soft and gentle renderings specifically designed for rest, relaxation, solace and repose.

Although these pieces have appeared on other recordings these new renderings are a departure from my past recordings in the gentle technique used and the absence of any supportive instruments. Just soft soothing solo harp music.

If you want a gentle solo harp album for peace and calm this is the one!
