Sweet Serenity

Many of the songs on this album were written during a time of sadness and anxiety as a beloved friend was suffering from severe illness. Melodies came in the night to soothe my troubled heart. In the end we have faith, love and beauty to cling to. It is my wish that whatever your situation in life you may be refreshed and restored both in times of joy and times of challenge. When you listen to my songs we are in communion with one another. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "There is no separate self. We are a current. We are a stream. we are a continuation". Sally has been performing in many areas of piano music for over 25 years. She played in some of the finest hotels and country clubs in the Southwest United States, the Pacific Northwest,and Scandanavia. She began composing music for stress reduction and relaxation in 2006 and her first album, Journeys of the Heart was recorded in 2009. "Almost every song I write begins with the whisper of a melody. The harmony is implicit in the melody. It's important to write these early inspirations down immediately, or they will be lost" she cautions. "Then the real work begins What key will I use? How will this be arranged? What will the accompaniment be like?" Comments from fans: "I travel all over, I'm always in a rush, always in a state of anxiety. Today you have reminded me I have a soul." "I listen to your music every morning. It helps me to center myself before I start my day." "I feel like I've been to a spa, without having to leave my own home. Beautiful music."
