I’ve been a bit quiet for a while, I know. There are some good reasons for this though. First of all I was on holiday to my home country for a week. The wildly beautiful or gently serene Scottish landscapes never cease to inspire me, so I love to visit when I can. My boyfriend of almost four years also proposed, which was an extremely pleasant shock. Thus, I have been fairly busy.
In more topical news, I have also been able to get my music submitted to iTunes, Amazonmp3 and a few other retailers in the form of my first album.
This is an incredibly exciting time. This first album will test the waters and show how an unsigned artist can get their music known. Bellis Perennis is an easy listening album (classified as pop for iTunes for some reason) featuring 13 varied tracks that were made entirely using Dance Ejay Software. Some of the music on this album has been showcased on Reverbnation for a few months now and has gotten a very positive response.
On the subject of Reverbnation, for anyone who would like to subscribe to my mailing list, a little incentive has been added - one of my pieces of music has been temporarily made available as an exclusive download for newsletter subscribers. This piece of music is not on my album and is not available anywhere else either.

I was thinking lately and wondered what my favourite piece of classical music was. After many hours of pondering and debating, I finally realised that it was impossible for me to choose one – I love so many of them and they are all so extraordinarily unique.
Listed among my favourites were Canon in D by Pachelbel, a Pas De Deux by Tchaikovsky, Meditation by Jules Massenet, Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, The Swan by Saint-Saëns and the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky.
There really are too many to mention. Possibly I will never lose my love of classical music, since it was what initially inspired my passion and adoration for music. So many emotions can be written into one overture or sonata, and it is so very easy for a child’s imagination to be swept away to so many places when listening to such emotive music.
I would dearly love to know if anyone can choose a favourite piece from all of this wonderful music.
