From Little Eden

Water reflections on a lake in a sundown

Ripples of success spread joy day by day, performance by performance.  Today over 160 audience members gathered to be lifted up by the first concert "Songs We Love to Sing."  And I'm still flying high!

Next week The Rev. Richard Collman, who grew up on Prairie Lake south of Floodwood, will share his life of music with us. Each summer he and his family enjoy their time on the lake at "Little Eden."

Titled "An Autobiographical Recital," Richard opens with a rich piano arrangement of "Les Baricades Misterieuses" by Francois Couperin subtitled "The Mysterious Barricade" and composed in 1717. A Liszt Etude and a Celtic meditative piece follow.

Organ numbers include Dietrich Buxtehude "Prelude and Fugue," followed by a modern arrangement by "The Old OneHundredth."  

The third set concluding with  "Be Still My Soul" demonstrates the beauty and range of the Celtic harp.

We are indebted to Rev. Peter Nord and Anne Lewis for introducing Richard Collman to our Fourteenth Summer Series.
