Chanson: Music of Light, Peace and Relaxation

With the expression of artful storytellers, Jeannine Goeckeritz and Tamara Oswald relate these songs of life through the warmth and brilliance of the flute and harp. Among these stories can be heard the calming refuge provided to Bonnie Prince Charlie as he escapes to the Isle of Skye in a small boat; a woman bidding her heart be still after the loss of her husband in battle; the strength of the human spirit at the crossing of the Sweetwater River by the Willie Martin Handcart Company; the comfort of a kindly light in the midst of darkness and trial; and the never failing goodness of a Loving Shepherd.

Whether seeking renewal of the spirit, solace from life’s demands, or the warm comfort of a lullaby, Chanson: Songs for Flute and Harp can be enjoyed for it’s rich beauty and treasured for the inspiration expressed by these songs of love, hope, adventure, and joy.

“Chanson is a wonderful addition to any musical collection and contains some familiar yet rarely heard pieces that invite meditation and introspection. The musicianship of Tamara Oswald and Jeannine Goeckeritz, along with the many others assisting, shines. I have listened to it multiple times in multiple settings, and the enjoyment grows with each new listening opportunity.”
