The CD's title song, Heather in the Mist, is an original composition for psaltery by classically trained musician Deborah Brown. Her other selections are adaptations of traditional folk songs that evoke a feeling of relaxation. A sweetness of melody unfolds gently in the transparent, improvisational style that has become her personal hallmark. For this recording she includes several lullabies that can be enjoyed equally by children or adults, because, as Deborah says,"I think we all need and love lullabies." The songs become slower and softer during the second half of the album until, like tender lullabies, they gently fade away. Deborah says,"I discovered that people who are ill or in pain are able to relax to the point of falling asleep while listening to my improvisations. When several friends said they have trouble sleeping or know someone who does, I decided to make a CD for people who want soothing music for relaxation and sleep." Babies love this CD, and so do their parents.For more about Deborah and her psaltery visit her website at www.gentlemusiccompany.com.
