Album Notes

This refreshing album offers a soothing and quieting listening experience and consists of 15 original instrumental pieces written to help babies and adults achieve inner peace.

Ann Marie Kurrasch's music has been described as moving, tender and sensitive, that captures emotions and elicits feelings. This album is no exception. It has been used by young mothers to lull their babies to sleep, by hypnotherapists to relax patients, by aides working with seniors suffering from dementia, and those who want a calming mystical experience.

No. 1: gentle drops of rain falling on the tropical paradise of Maui in "Refreshing Rain."

Nos. 2, 3, 7, 11, & 14: love songs to newborn babies, making this CD a wonderful addition to the nursery. Such love and joy in the birth, such wonder and awe as one rocks the tiny one to sleep while singing the baby's very own lullaby.

No. 8: capturing an indescribably beautiful sunset on Maui with harp and strings. The melodies build as the sun disappears on the softly lapping waves. Gorgeous reds and purples fill the sky and one is transformed by something wonderful and fulfilling.
No. 4 & 9: Love songs without words written for a wedding ceremony with the flute singing the words of love that embody the joy of the new couple.

No. 15: A restful end to this refreshing album in a meditative duet with flute and strings intertwining in soft and lyrical movements, “A World of Peace and Beauty.”
