	Cloud Dancers - Relaxation CD - Phillip Elcano Code: MUS00D1512 Price: $14.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Cloud Dancers CD by Phillip Elcano This is Phillip Elcano's second album in the Rain Dance Relaxation Series. It was composed to touch the Cloud Dancer spirit within us all. As life becomes faster paced, it becomes more and more important to remember that we are all a part of the beauty and cycles of nature. Mr. Elcano believes that understanding this connection helps bring us inner peace and tranquility. This album as well as the other two in the RainDance Series are loved, and used during naptime, by the La Petite Children's Academy in Reno, NV. They are also used worldwide by massage therapists and in the labor and delivery rooms of hospitals. The relaxation benefits to this music can be applied in many situations. Songs Include: 1. Cloud Dancers (7:04) 5. Ribbons of Water (7:19) 2. Emerald Pools (8:17) 6. Timeless Journey (11:37) 3. Sunrise on the Black Rock Desert (7:27) 7. A White Rose for You (5:52) 4. DreamScape (7:26) 8. Moonrise on the Black Rock Desert (5:00) Mr. Elcano's music has touched my soul on many planes. Notes from his songs have woven themselves into the fabric of my life. As the soothing melodies floated through the air, each of my grandchildren, as were my sisters children, were guided into their new world. "A White Rose for You" is my sisters favourite.

	Midnight Dream - Rhythmic CD - Phillip Elcano Code: MUS00D3256 Price: $14.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Midnight Dream CD by Phillip Elcano Where Philip Elcano's "Rain Dance" was a glowing meditation on peace and serenity, his latest, Midnight Dream, extols the sensuous delights of romance and passion. The spacious slow-breathing impressionism of the earlier CD has given way to sweeping melodies, grand orchestrations, and rhythmic drive, as Elcano tells a musical tale of a lover searching for, and finding, his beloved in the wild, misty mountains. Along the way he witnesses a 'Dance of the Forest Fairies'--portrayed by cascading chimes, pizzicato strings and breathy synthesizer--and rides with a herd of wild horses (complete with the urgent sound of hooves) on the untamed 'Thunder Run'. The pace and the drama slacken on the last few tracks, as lyrical and gentle tunes, with titles like 'Song of the Zephyr', 'Enamorados' and 'Cricket's Poem', portray the warm glow and pleasures of shared love. This is poetry without words and a true joy from start to finish. Songs Include: 1. Midnight Dream (3:31) 6. Daydream (3:37) 2. La Neblina (5:37) 7. Thunder Run (5:49) 3. Dance of the Forest (4:59) 8. Song of the Zephyr (5:16) 4. Whispering Pines (6:07) 9. Enamorados (Lovers) (4:08) 5. Dancing Light (3:59)   When asked which of Mr. Elcano's songs are my favourites I would rather not answer as I am hard pressed to choose just one, but if I am cornered one that would come to mind is "Thunder Run". Closing my eyes I am instantly transported to another place, another time, I can almost feel the mist of the fall morning in the air as the herd begins to stampede. (The soundtrack for the horses in this compositon is the same one used for the horses running in The Man from Snowy River".)

	Choroi Quinta Pentatonic Flute - Pear Wood Code: MERSM02500 Price: $135.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Choroi Quinta Pentatonic Flute made of Pear Wood The interval and pentatonic flutes were specially developed for use by children, particularly in groups. The newly developed Quinta-Flute is light blowing, with very easy articulation and a clear transparent tone, with the newly designed labium and windway, no separate toneblock is needed. All the Choroi flutes are characterized by a warm, light, flexible tone. Compared with traditional instruments, the Choroi flutes possess a tone that sounds more like a voice than an instrument. This unique tone quality leads to a corresponding style of play. A free outbreathing, rather than an active blowing, forms the foundation for the tone. The mouth and lip positions also contribute to the tone formation. The fingers gently touch the specially formed finger holes, which allow half-steps to be achieved naturally by half-covering the holes. A= 440 Hz 6 finger holes range: d’’-e’’-g’’-a’’-h’’-d’’-e’’ All flutes are treated exclusively with linseed oil.

	Choroi Pentatonic Children's Harp - no case - 7 strings Code: MERSM20000 Price: $608.99 Quantity in Basket: none
Choroi Pentatonic Children's Harp - 7 strings The Choroi Children's Harp is a pentatonically tuned instrument. Its graceful, sculpted form and ethereal tone make the harp ideal for stimulating the young child's listening and free music making. The harp can be given to the child, at age five or six, as his/her first string instrument. Children's Harp is made in various woods (ash, maple, elm, cherry) The Choroi lyres and harps were created through a striving for a characteristic, radiant tone deriving its intensity from the properties of the different types of wood used in their construction. Through carefully formed "organs" inside the instruments, these qualities of the wood are brought into connection with the resonating instrument cavity. Variously shaped sound openings mediate between this inner space and the space around the instrument. Through this interaction, a mobile equilibrium arises, giving the tone a living quality. All the instruments are built with the highest quality craftsmanship from naturally colored, carefully aged wood. In our striving for a beautiful finish, we work with traditional methods, including the use of natural resins and hand polishing.

	Choroi Pentangle Set - bronze - small, hammered - incl. beater and handle Code: MERSM73101 Price: $61.39 Quantity in Basket: none
Pentangle Set - bronze - small, hammered - incl. beater and handle Hear the amazing difference between our handmade tri- and pentangles and those you commonly buy in music shops! Choroi Tri- and Pentangles are hand-crafted and made from brass or non-alloy steel. By driving (hammering) the material, the sound becomes more vibrant and the surface gets a characteristic structured look. Even though the triangle is a very simple instrument, it offers different sound possibilities. Whether it is a bell-like, warm and swinging tone or a clear, vibrant sound, depends on the material and the size of the triangle as well as on the way the instrument is played. Every model has its characteristic sound. The general rule is: brass triangles have a lingering sound and develop a warm colourful timbre. Iron has a concentrating effect with its shorter, strong and elemental sound. Pentangles sound lighter and higher than triangles. The bigger the instrument, the longer and more intense (not necessarily deeper) the reverberation. bronze diam. 6 mm leg length 13 cm (diam. 0.31 inch, leg length 5.12 inch) Manufacturer: Choroi Made Sweden (551731001) Several sizes available in steel or bronze CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE SPECIAL ORDER ITEM Let us Special Order this item for you.

Whether it is a bell-like, warm and swinging tone or a clear, vibrant sound, depends on the material and the size of the triangle as well as on the way the instrument is played. Every model has its characteristic sound. The general rule is: brass triangles have a lingering sound and develop a warm colourful timbre. Iron has a concentrating effect with its shorter, strong and elemental sound. Pentangles sound lighter and higher than triangles. The bigger the instrument, the longer and more intense (not necessarily deeper) the reverberation. bronze diam. 8 mm leg length 20 cm (diam. 0.31 inch, leg length 7.87 inch) Manufacturer: Choroi Made Sweden (551731001) Several sizes available in steel or bronze CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE SPECIAL ORDER ITEM Let us Special Order this item for you.
