LUMIERE, Baroque Music for Relaxation by Stephanie Bennett offers Baroque music originally written for a variety of instrumentations (orchestral works, keyboard works, operas, etc.), which Stephanie has elegantly rearranged for harp along with accompanying acoustic instruments. This is classical music with a light, modern touch, designed for relaxation, healing and pure enjoyment.
According to an article in Alternative Therapies Magazine, research studies have been conducted to determine the effects of relaxing, healing music in a variety of clinical, healthcare settings. Conclusive, peer-reviewed research proves that music can be useful and effective in producing positive results and relief from pain and anxiety.
Anyone who listens to music can relate to the relaxing effect and and how it can be used to reduce and release tension. Interestingly, Alternative Therapies Magazine confirms that slow and sedative music, with a specific reference to Baroque music styles, does result in increased relaxation. Music with simple, repetitive rhythms, low pitches and slow tempos using strings and no percussion instruments can help to reduce stressful physiological responses.
Award-winning musician and composer Stephanie Bennett has been called “one of our country’s top harpists” (Hollywood Reporter). Avalon, inspired by Stephanie’s travels to Ireland, includes the original composition, “The Ancient Fortress” which she composed at the top of 2500 year old Steig Fort in the Ring of Kerry with one of her harps while “contemplating the mystery and timelessness of this beautiful place and wondering about the kinds of people who had been here before me.”
A native of the Midwest, Stephanie’s passion for the harp and composing music dates back to her childhood. She has been invited to collaborate with many musicians and has performed throughout the world including at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland as well as in France, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Argentina, Ecuador and Costa Rica. An advocate of animal rights, she has rescued many cats from the animal pound. According to Bennett, “nature is where I sense the divine and infinite.”
Stephanie's solo albums on the At Peace® Music label include Avalon and Lumiere, and she also performed as part of the ensemble of acoustic musicians on many of Michael Benghiat's music recordings on the At Peace Music label.
"I want my music to help people shed their everyday worries and frustrations and connect with a feeling of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being and harmony." - Stephanie Bennett
