Speeney, Spawney, Go to the Moon
Product Description Gentle yet engaging, this music is guaranteed to relax everybody from babies to CEOs. Old favorites from Brahms to Malvina Reynolds, new pieces by Candy Forest, Nancy Schimmel and Linda Hirschhorn are played on acoustic instruments (Candy at the piano and Emil Miland playing cello) and sung by family: Candy and her brother, Ben Mordush, with a cameo appearance by The Singing Rainbow Youth Ensemble.The music is selected for its quieting quality and arranged to encourage deep relaxation of body, mind and spirit. Review The songs on this unusual combination of vocals, piano and cello were clearly chosen for their poetry and tender music. Cellist Emil Miland and pianist Candy Forest play long instrumental passages soulfully. Forest sings, too, tremulous and sweet. Among these dreamy, expressive tunes are Come by the Hills from Scotland, A Winter's Song, and Lie Down, with music by Forest and evocative lyrics by the well-known Nancy Schimmel. And there's the lovely harmony of the ode to Giraffes. -- From Parents' Choice® From the Label ...a soulful, eclectic collection of songs...an eloquent pleasure for all ages...
