Fairy Night Songs

Review During the release of "Fairy of the Woods", I chanced to meet Laura Drew, who had just released her CD "Spiritus" under the name Lorellei. We bacame instant friends, and Laura invited my new wife, Tam and I to spend our honeymoon at her home in Maui, which we ended up doing six months later. While there, Laura asked me to record a song for her on her synth setup, "just for fun." I doodled out a short set of chords that sounded kind of pretty, and that was that, or so I thought. The next morning I woke to the sound of Laura improvising on what I had played. I quietly listened as my idea evolved. For a few days we casually bounced the piece back and forth between us. One day coming home from a drive around Maui, as I walked up to the house, I heard Laura singing to it. I was stunned by the beauty and purity of her voice. It eventually became "Darkness" on this album. I'd always wanted a beautiful female voice in my music, and it was so much fun working with Laura that I asked her if she would do an album with me; the result is "Fairy NightSongs". For the next year, constantly pestering Tam for lyrics, we recorded this album. Musically we clicked. When Laura suggested we do a Celtic piece and played me one of her ideas, I went into my files and dug out a piece I had written a year earlier and played it for her. The look on her face was priceless; in essence it was the same song, destined to become "Laura's Hill". And so it went. Later I learned that Laura had done lots of work under the name Singh Kaur, and was well known for her many meditative CD's. I suddenly understood why things went so smoothly working with her, and I realized just how lucky I was to have had the opportunity to work with her. I'll always remember this project with great fondness. Hope you like it ! - Gary Stadler --From the Artist "A harmonious collection of moving vocals which shine with the purity of soul and gentle instrumentals" --Mark Kelso - Convergence Magazine "Breathtaking Gaelic/English vocals, delicate piano and Celtic orchestrations weave together musical traditions from Celtic to Classical to New Age." --Anne Thiel - Mountain Luminary Product Description Deep in the night forest, fairies gather by firelight and fly to the song of the wind in the trees.
