For Valentine's Day, spring, or anytime, “Reflections of the Heart” is a wonderful musical triptych of love. Each of the three pieces could easily stand on its own, or the entire trio may be performed as one work. “Blessings” is a sprightly madrigal-style wish for the good health and happiness of a beloved. “Impressions” is a beautiful memory of the moment when hands first touched. “One Perfect Treasure” is an expression of true love and contentment. A must for your library!

Edited and Photographed by Michael Stillwater Waldron Island Reflections offers images and words from Shining Night, the award-winning documentary film about the life and music of Morten Lauridsen. Morten Lauridsen, among the leading American composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, draws his inspiration from the serenity of nature.
