Musically Yours
|
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Musically Yours, Donna's first instrumental CD. The CD has 15 original songs and one cover tune (Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar) featuring the writing and playing skills of Nova Scotia composer and performer Donna Rhodenizer. Drawing on her experience as a classical violinist and her traditional folk roots, this collection is a delightfully eclectic mix of gentle waltzes, toe-tapping fiddle tunes and beautiful melodies. Donna created the musical arrangements for all the songs as well as contributing her playing skills on violin/fiddle, piano and accordion; and invited some of Nova Scotia's finest musicians to join her to create this fine recording. |
