A poetic melancholy immediately quietens you soul as the enchanting violin draws you inward to another place, another time.
‘Fields of Fortune’ opens you to the limitless bounds of your imagination as the dreamy music captures you heart and invites you to dance freely in the dreamtime. As the music grows in energy and strength, your spirit comes to life; expressing the true essence of your being.
Then like the changing elements, the music softens as a gentle flow of instrumentals carries you along a river of fond heart-felt memories in, ’Always there for you’; a warming vocal track reminding us we are never truly alone. A sense of peace and inner tranquillity enraptures your being as you drift peacefully though magical lands while Saoirse’s beautiful vocals sing you softly to sleep. For a while the gentle river of music carries you softly until the ‘Daughters of Erin’ awaken you once more to a light-spirited and beautifully uplifting Irish jig.
The Album comes to a close with the graceful dance of violin and trumpet, before the grand fine ally ‘Raise your Voices’ an uplifting psalm featuring the Chamber choir of Ireland, fills the room with powerful, inspiring and truly invigorating music.
A Stunning album from Secret Garden and the marvellous talents of Rolf Lovland and Fionnuala Sherry.
