"Peaceful Pond" Music CD
Description
Sound Sample
Wild birds wing their way across lily pads lazy in the cool water. Dragonflies dart about in the warm air while ducks and a myriad of life forms make their callings. Rich tones of tranquil music reflect the essence of a perfect pond lush with the sounds of a summer day. Dean Evenson’s soothing flute blends seamlessly with the harps of d’Rachael and Dudley Evenson. Jonathan Kramer’s sonorous cello deepens the peaceful mood.
In gathering the natural sounds on Peaceful Pond, Dean Evenson spent a summer traversing the continent from the high Rocky Mountains to the eastern coastal wetlands in search of the perfect pond environment. The term “wetlands” encompasses a variety of wet environments, both coastal and inland. Throughout much of our history, such wetlands were regarded as foreboding, dangerous places which had little value.
More recently, however, we have come to realize that wetlands are natural wonderlands. They are among the most productive natural ecosystems of the world. Wetlands are precious ecological resources — resources that nurture wildlife, purify polluted waters and check the destructive power of floods and storms.
We have recently witnessed increased flood damages and declining waterfowl populations which are, in part, the results of wetland destruction. As wetlands are lost, the remaining wetlands become even more valuable, representing a vital link between our land and water resources. Peaceful Pond is lovingly dedicated to preservation and enjoyment of our natural wetlands.
