This song could be called a sonata for piano and cello, but it's basically a gentle, instrumental love song. |

This is a passionate love song whose style is somewhat reminiscent of The Dave Matthews Band. It's a male-female duet with intricate harmonies and lyrical interplay. |

This is a folk song that's been arranged like a romantic classical piece. The poem was written by a Victorian poet, Matthew Arnold, over a hundred years ago. Each part in the drama is played by a different singer, and each instrument portays a different emotion or idea in the story. |

This song is a dramatic monologue set to music. The story is taken from the Greek legend of Orpheus and Euridyce, though the perspective and the lyrics are original material. The song begins and ends as a piano ballad, and follows the wide range of emotions that I imagine Orpheus would feel as the story plays out. |

This is the farewell song on the CD. It's a gentle acoustic song with a simple melody. The song has a strong celtic influence, though the finger-style guitar playing is entirely folk. |
