Review:
http://www.solopianopublications.com/reviews/cooper.htm

The neo-classical musical expressions on this recording point to a Light born from those who expressed it during 17th century Europe when survival was as vulnerable as it is now. Human beings across the ages, across cultural divides, and through many language barriers have asserted that this Light is greater than any one of us. The timeless melodies and improvised harmonies on this recording rise from within my own heart. They extol a Love that is unitive and a true Light that is restorative in a 21st century context where wars and the divided human mind have taken on new weavings and dimensions. A renewed vision of hope unfolds in the contemporary titles and brief reflections of the improvised Baroque pieces. The recording closes with a familiar tune, Beach Spring, attributed to a 19th century composer. The title given to this closing, "Loving One, Rise Up and Heal Us" melds with the healing music and soothing rhythms of the Beach Spring melody and provides a restful but confident ending in a Higher Love that permeates the Universe with an eternal life-giving Spirit. Thank you for offering your listening heart and ear to this musical adventure, "Carry the Light!"

Ideal for relaxing and healing... a great gift, beautifully played

I purchased this CD for my Mom to help her recover from chemotherapy when I heard a sampling on solopianoradio.com. I loved Ms. Cooper's rendition of "The Gathering" and the samples seemed to carry the same hopeful message. Mom tells me she cried tears of joy at hearing it and listens to the entire CD daily for relaxing and healing. Thank you to Sharon for adding beauty to this world.

Music to reflect by, music to let your soul dance!
author: Jean Woessner
Taken separately, these pieces are beautifully rendered improvisations of both familiar and lesser-known musical compositions. As a collection, “Carry the Light” carries one through the depths of human expression - longing, companionship, joy, sorrow, wonder, and peace. Gorgeous clarity of exposition and clarity of purpose unite on this CD. I can’t listen enough or recommend more highly!
