Earth Song - 9464

Product Description The best description of 'Earth Song' is to recite a verse from a hymn included on this instrumental CD: 'For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth, over and around us lies.' A personal note from Bronn: 'Earth Song' celebrates the wonder and beauty that our Lord God has displayed in His creation. I chose songs that were written for that particular reason. Favorites like 'How Great Thou Art,' ' For the Beauty of the Earth' and 'Morning Has Broken' are fitting examples. Great hymns of grateful praise. This album is especially appropriate for your morning devotions.' Thirty-two years ago, a volunteer with the Seattle Public Schools placed a harp in Bronn's hands for the first time and began teaching the 11 year old boy how to play. He advanced rapidly, and soon moved on to study with harpist Edith Lundgren. By the time he was 16, he was performing professionally in fine hotels and restaurants in the Seattle area. After high school, Bronn was accepted to the School of Music at the University of Washington where he received instruction from Pamela Vokelek. He graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1985. Bronn's dazzling virtuosity and humorous approach to a seriously classical instrument have made him a favorite with concert goers. 'Because of the experience of playing in a variety of settings, I am very comfortable playing in many different styles,' comments Bronn. Classical, Sacred, Broadway and Popular tunes all flow effortlessly from the strings of his harp. Seventeen albums are currently available on 'Phileo Music.' They are sold in fine gift shops across the US and Canada and of course right here on CD Baby and Bronn's web page! When first introduced to the idea of a harp concert, many audiences may respond by asking, 'The harp? Isn't that what cherubs play?' The answer in Bronn's case is - 'Perhaps! But do cherubs play everything from Classics to Folk to Broadway?' Even though he's not a cherub, Bronn delivers a widely varied repertoire with wit and humor. About the Artist Bronn Journey, gentle master of the classical harp. Encouraged by his Welsh mother, he began studying harp, the national instrument of Wales, together with piano at an early age. Although he can play almost any instrument, he admits that “Harp is the only instrument I’d dare to play for anyone,” and adds that in choosing music to play, “It’s important to put the listener’s feelings first. I try to do things that others want to hear.”
