How did this CD happen?
My daughter, Rosiee Thor, a published author, approached me in September
of 2021 with an idea to write a story about a harpist and a dragon. She asked
me if I would like to write some music for it. Of course, I said “Yes!
I would love to.”
She gave me a prologue for a book that she is
planning to write someday in the future, and that became the inspiration for
this music and the story. For the next year I was continually visited by my
muse writing a total of 13 tunes and naming them with the phrases from the
prologue.
I then took Rosiee’s prologue and created
a new story with a musical program that can be used in it’s entirety
or pared down for a shorter program. Rosiee doesn’t know if she will
ever actually write this book, but I am happy with the music and story that
we created together.
We then recorded this at the Cedar House in Alpine,
Oregon, a beautiful setting up in the hills above Monroe. Aryeh Frankfurter
was the recording engineer. We did the recording in 1 day recording each tune
3 times and moving a few parts around during the mixing process to make it
the best it can be. We later mastered it with Paul Bezanson in Salem,
Oregon.

Hi Sharon,
"What lovely melodies you’ve created! I really get the sense of
being in a fable about dragons when I listen to the songs. I’d like to
learn to play several of them." Christine Kidd, Salem, Oregon
