Drift effortlessly through the wilderness splendour of the Great Lakes with this gentle music and nature sound piece. As with other Suite albums, the Great Lakes Suite will lead you from one glorious nature scene to another by musical bridges. Once there, a musical theme, that seems to caress each wildlife sound, will inspire and move you. So take a beautiful moment and visit each lake along the way and allow yourself to slip into their wild soundscapes. The magnificent wildlife abounds in this freshwater wonderland that you will want to revisit over and over again.
This is a wonderfully relaxing CD with music and nature sounds. It is great for stress relief or bedtime. According to the liner notes, "The Great Lakes Suite features the expansive and sea-like Lake Superior with its rolling waves, the rare Kirtland's Warbler that breeds only in Michigan, the beaver ponds of Georgian Bay's Baie Fine in Lake Huron, the lush marshes of Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Falls, and the route through Lake Ontario to the sea". The CD is produced by Dan and Gordon Gibson, with music by Hennie Bekker. A must have for those who enjoy nature and music!

This is not a Hennie Bekker CD, although I love his music to... this is Dan Gibson's Solitudes collection.

So relaxing

"If you feel the need to relax and have all your worries washed away, then put on this cd. The wonderfully calming, beautifully composed music will calm and soothe, and the wonderful sounds of the lakes and various wildlife, including many species of birds and frogs will make you feel that you are there. A wonderful album to daydream by. And track 10 will transport you to Niagara Falls. If you have never been there, you will feel as if you have, after listening to this. Truly awe-inspiring!"
This really really works

"I have been using a number of "Solitudes" CDs for my work in gerontology and I can safely say this is one of the best. The relaxation combined with the familiarity of Strauss' work, simply makes the CD very effective for relaxation. I highly recommend it for eveyone regardless of age."
Best In Class Nature Music

"I've listened to many nature music CD's and I always come back to this one. Having grown up in Michigan, I love all of the famaliar sounds of the various birds and wild life. If you like soft soothing music with sounds of the great outdoors seamlessly blended together, you'll really like this one. I thinks it's Best in Class."
At the moment, my favorite Dan Gibson CD.

"Not only my favorite, but also my first Dan Gibson CD, "Great Lakes Suite" is a masterpiece. This is a wonderful piece to listen to when you need to relax, are having trouble getting to sleep, or any such reason. My only complaint is that occasionally the transition between the various pieces of music sounds forced."
