It is difficult to describe in words how touching and emotional this extraordinary work is. The compositions are extremely moving, nostalgic, yet full of a beauty that I rarely have heard in the world of music. I give five stars because I can't give six... and I strongly recommend this work any listener, especially those that love poetry and romanticism is music.

It is rare that I remember where I was when I first heard a particular instrumental recording.

But I can tell you that I heard "Leap!" from this cd 17 years ago on an afternoon FM radio program. And it still remains the most uplifting tune I have ever heard.

I immediately bought the cd and found other lovely tunes, like "Elegy", a beautiful tribute, thanks in large measure to the exceptional cello playing of David Lockington.

I simply can't imagine not owning this cd. I know some people experience dark times, and to them I say that if you have "Leap!" on a portable music player, then you have an endless supply of the most powerful anti-depressant on the face of the earth, with no adverse side effects.

I love Bill Douglas' music. I do not connect with this CD.

Bill is great. Also check out my favorite relaxing artist, Genie. My fave is WHISPER.
