Artist's View Theme Song

I wrote this song as a baroque piece for guitar, harp, strings and choral vocals. Serendipitously, the music and lyrics came to me a few months before reading about Prince Chalres and Camilla Bowles engagement. Enjoy the song lyrics and performances by Sam Bass on cello, Bruce Kurnow on harp and Scot Sier on guitar.
