Album Notes

Angelic Strings with Harpist Michael Morris. The magnetism of this husband-wife duo and the music they create is captured in their two recording projects: 'Stairway to Heaven: Passion and Compassion' & 'Reflections of the Heart'. Their motto 'hearts to service' is with the belief that where there is love, all things are possible.

Austin's own Angelic Strings with harpist Michael Morris has released their first duet CDs with much anticipation and momentum! Michael Morris, a recording artist in his own right: the Dreams Trilogy - 2002, and Celtic Blues - 2003, has collaborated with his wife violist and percussionist Belinda Morris. After they married in 2003, formed the duo Angelic Strings. They energy these two bring to cover songs and original blues has captured fans and encouraged their recording project. They went into Lava Studios on January 27, 2005, and by the end of August found that the grooves they recorded produced two new 'babies', each a style of its own.

'Stairway to Heaven: Passion & Compassion' is all original blues and upbeat songs on harp, viola & drum, and ends with two awesome renditions of 'Stairway to Heaven': purely instrumental, and then adding vocals.

'Reflections of the Heart' is relaxing & serene while still permeated with groovy blues. Their intentions of prayer and meditation is captured in the two extended songs 'Reflections of the Heart' (title track; 22 minutes) and 'Gratitude Attitude' (14 minutes). This CD ends with four of their arrangements of favorites: 'Fur Elise', 'Lark in the Morning', 'Greensleeves', and 'Amazing Grace'.
