notes
We trust you will agree that classical strings can create pretty, contemporary sounds. Bonnie Rasmussen is a professional violinist and teacher, and gathered many great ideas from playing in string quartets and ensembles at weddings, church services, symphonies, and other recitals and events. In most of these songs, you will think you are hearing a small orchestra – but most of the parts are multiple tracks arranged and recorded by Bonnie.
What kind of songs?
• Contemporary songs by Michael W. Smith (Agnus Dei), Tom Fettke, Twila Paris, etc.
• Wedding favorite: “Pachelbel’s Canon”
• Most-played song in the world: “Amazing Grace”
• Hymns
• “Civil War” TV mini-series theme song: “Ashokan Farewell”
We purposely included a variety of themes, to keep the brain sharp, and to show how versatile the violin and viola can be.
Several songs use Bonnie’s electric violin. Can you find them?
Dedication note from Bonnie: “This CD is dedicated to my parents, Jay and Betty. I want to thank them for their love and encouragement in my music. I also want to thank my family, friends, and my new friends at Catsville Recording for sharing their amazing talents to make this possible. I pray that this CD will be a blessing to all of you.”
String background music for church services, parties, offices. Therapy music for healthcare, nursing home, pain management, hospice, funeral home, wake. Complements Christian muzak. Christian music CD as a gift for friends. On iTunes and Napster.

This CD is one for the 'favorites'. It is very easy listening and inspirational. It truly comforts the soul. Bonnie's talents with the stringed instruments are truly revealed. Bonnie has a unique way of taking these popular songs and making them her own. A great mix of contemporary and traditional Christian music with a pleasant twist of a different genre.
