Blossoms

A dozen roses that will never wilt...

Blossoms is a poem by Merrill Collins, illustrated with a dozen gorgeous photos of roses by Yvon Chausseblanche and 9 tracks of soothing and uplifting music inspired by the beauty of the rose.

What would roses sound like if they could sing? Merrill's new composition captures perfect relation of a blossom to the sun, greeting, welcoming, following, waiting. Great for massage, wake up, or relaxing before bed. Harmonizes the environment, just as fresh flowers themselves do. Simply ethereal...a healing musical expression of nature's unconditional love for Valentine's day, Mother's Day, and when you want to say "Get Well Soon."

Released in January, 2007, Merrill renders celestial melodies and nature sounds inspired by morning meditations in the Rose Garden and in the countryside. Featuring Merrill Collins on Steinway grand piano and harp/keyboards; Charles Moselle on bansuri flutes and shakahatchi; Bruce Mishkit on silver flute; Mike Knapp on 'cello. Nature sounds and Rose blossom photos by Yvon Chausseblanche.

Take time to smell the roses!

1. near a mountain stream
2. on the path to the garden of blossoms
3. one morning in the sunlight
4. i heard whispering
5. the roses told me
6. to plant my heart's wish
7. unconditionally
8. sooner or later, love will be greater
9. peace, be still.

"Soyez Gentille" is my favorite Yoga tape. It sets a perfect mood and keeps the feel throughout the class. I have many choices of music . . . but I always find my way back to using "Soyez Gentille" as not only mine, but my students' first choice.
— Colley Ballou, Yoga Instructor

"The Blessings Already Are" [and the other pieces] enhance my work as an energy bodywork practitioner. The clients enjoy listening to the gentle music while I work on them, as it brings to them a deep, relaxed state which promotes healing of the body. It helps me to stay in a relaxed yet focused state myself, which is optimal for doing this type of work.
— Ann Baldasseroni, RN, Certified Healing Touch and Reiki practitioner
