Delos Music Library Collection Music is an invitation to explore a particular terrain, experience a certain mood or even take part in an adventure. When composers provide programmatic titles for their compositions, that terrain, mood or adventure comes to life perhaps more readily than when the score is without such signposts. We have, therefore, added descriptive titles to some of the works collected here in order to guide the listener along paths that seem to have a common destination: that place in the heart where tenderness and intimacy reside. As you listen to this music you may find yourself swathed in the romantic glow of a rustic fireside. You may find that your emotions are inexplicably mercurial or that your mind has taken rapturous flight. Go, then and perhaps celebrate love along Shakespeare's riverbank, his words whispering within: "How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night become the touches of sweet harmony."

Lounge music — popular tunes once frequently heard by customers of restaurants, bars, and exclusive clubs — has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity. But these tunes were not the only fare heard by the cocktail crowd. The more upscale establishments often featured classical music. With this in mind, Delos offers a collection of classical bon-bons appropriate for any occasion, with or without cocktails. Most of the music is intimate in nature — piano, harp, and duet. All of it is sure to enhance the atmosphere of any kind of social gathering. program Isaac Albeniz: Rumores de la Caleta ~ Susann McDonald, harp (3:18) Fritz Kreisler: Liebesleid ~ Leonidas Kavakos, violin • Peter Nagy, piano (4:25) M.
