This week we are letting you know about one of my Christmas CDs called “The Christmas Story.” It was recorded on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 2001. Since most Christmas music on the market is recorded in the summer (so it’s available in time for the holidays), I have always known that this CD had the holiday spirit infused in a very magical way.
The Daily OM listened to this CD and wrote a review. I am humbled by their beautiful words…
“Harpist Tami Briggs is a sound healer whose angelic, gentle playing bypasses all resistance to touch the root chord of the human soul. She honed her healing skill via personal appearances at hospitals and hospices, bringing her soothing sounds right up to the beds of those most in need. Bringing her knowledge of healing into the recording studio, Briggs makes harp music that’s simple, sweet, and deeply soothing. Embracing a less-is-more strategy, The Christmas Story interprets classic holiday standards into gentle solo-harp pieces, potent enough to hush a room of chatting relatives, relaxing enough to play in a child’s bedroom to help them fall asleep on Christmas Eve. And if you should find yourself alone for the holidays, Briggs becomes an angelic friend, her music a shimmering presence rooting you back to humanity.
Capturing the vibe of a live performance, The Christmas Story offers audio quality sharp enough to give the illusion that Briggs is playing right in the same room as you mull through your presents or nap on the couch in a sea of torn wrapping paper….The CD wraps up with the feeling of belonging to something larger than oneself, as Briggs’ gentle touch with the harp suffused even her frequent impassioned glissandos with warmth. More than just a bunch of carols played on the harp, Briggs skirts in and around the familiar melodies with the finesse of a jazz soloist, albeit one with no agenda of showing off chops, but rather of hitting all the right notes to warm the back of your neck and open your heart. Put on The Christmas Story when you need a gentle reminder of what the holidays are about: peace, love, and spiritual regeneration.”

Last year on Christmas Day, I received the following e-mail:
“My best friend passed away this morning. She was in the hospital unresponsive. I had taken your “Christmas Music for Tranquility” CD to her yesterday; her family played it early this morning. The whole CD played and as the CD player shut off, my friend took her last breath. Her daughters told me it was beautiful. I’m getting a CD for both of the daughters. Thank you for your beautiful music.”
I am deeply touched and humbled by this beautiful message. I feel so blessed to create music that touches your heart and soul.
With the purpose of bringing peace to your holidays and a mini-retreat, Musical Reflections created a movie called “The Gift of Christmas Peace.” After much positive feedback, it is a joy to bring it back to you again to help you reduce your stress. And feel free to share it with your friends, too.
Or click here to view the movie on YouTube. (And while you’re on my YouTube channel, there are many other videos to view. There are also other videos on this website … enjoy!)
Graceful Peace, the newest DVD, is a perfect holiday gift! It features Bernie Saunder’s flower photography and one of my harp compositions. It is a four-minute mini-retreat … a healing tool, it gives you a break from your daily routine. It sells for $5.00; click here for more information.
I am excited to feature my newest book, Women as Healers: Voices of Vibrancy. It is healing stories of 31 women from around the world. These women are from all walks of life … authors, artists, consultants, nurses, educators, leaders, and therapists. As they share their stories of empowerment, wisdom and life learning, you will see they are doing extraordinary things to help make our world a better place.
The book is a “must read” if you are interested in the power and resiliency of the human spirit. It is inspirational and uplifting … click here for more information and to order your copy today!
As a young child, I remember my parents saying, usually around the New Year, “The year had gone so fast.” At the time, it didn’t mean much to me. Now, without sounding too cliché, time goes so fast! And this year is no exception.
November 1 marks the beginning of holiday preparation … wasn’t it just November 1, 2010?! Yes, it’s been a fast year … if Musical Reflections can help with your holiday gifts, we’d be happy to assist.
