Seven Songs of the California Oak Woodland These original Native
American
Flute compositions,
performed and produced by eco-musician Jon Sherman, are a
celebration
of seven bird
species found within the natural community of the oak woodlands
of
California. Though this habitat, in terms of bird richness, is
among
the most important in North America, it is also one of most
threatened.
May these songs, which include the authentic vocalizations
of
Red
Tailed Hawk, Acorn Woodpecker, American Robin, Anna's
Hummingbird,
Bewick's Wren, Canyon Wren and Hermit Thrush, inspire communion
with
the oak woodland community and its circle of life, represented
by the
stone circle in the beautiful cover art by
Fealing
Lin.
May
they also inspire the peace and healing that time spent under
the oaks
can bring.

"A one-of-a kind CD
that will be
appreciated by anyone who has
ever hiked through an oak woodland or contemplated nature while sitting under a giant oak." - Acorn Naturalists "Listening to this musical connection between nature and man, one is immediately transported to a calmness - similar to what you would feel when relaxing under an oak tree, listening to the chatter of the birds, and the rustling of the leaves. Jon Sherman is a master when it comes to capturing the essence of nature and sharing it's beauty." Lisa D. Smith - Southwest Blend |
