Christine Magnussen is a therapeutic harpist who received recognition on National Public Radio's "E-Town" for her work as the Founding Director of the ACCHORD Music Access Project which provides therapeutic music to the elderly, ill and at-risk youth.
Music and healing educator, Don Campbell, says that "music can uplift our soul. It awakens within us the spirit of prayer, compassion and love.. it can boost the immune function by oxygenating cells, can generate a sense of safety and well-being." The Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that "music provides a distraction from pain and relieves anxiety."
"On Wings of A Dove" was recorded in response to requests by cancer and hospice patients for whom Christine provides live harp visits in chemotherapy units and hospice homes.
Sound engineer, Ron Davis, mastered this recording in his "A Wing And A Prayer" studio just after successfully completing his own chemotherapy treatments.This CD is produced in tribute to cancer and hospice patients.
This recording begins with a gentle splash of "Water Spirit" which progressively leads the listener into deep alpha state of relaxation. A mix of solo harp and piano sprinkle the soothing atmosphere of comforting pieces. The meditative qualities of medieval "Dehors Lonc Pre" and "Chanson" are complemented by the final affirming hope of "Quiet Evening."
"On Wings Of A Dove" is designed to be a gift of love for you or someone you care about, to provide comfort in times of grief, illness or personal stress. It is an ideal complement for massage or medical treatments or at the bedside of a loved one.
COMMENTS FROM LISTENERS:
"I can't help but move into reflection of my life and loved ones when I am listening to your music. It's wonderful, and meditative."
"The music puts my mind and spirit in another place, a place where cancer does not exist."
