Heart of the River
Julie Blue
Heart of the River is simply beautiful instrumental music that creates a lovely space for the listener. Superbly played grand piano is textured with luscious cello, soaring flute and sax, exquisite acoustic guitar, tasteful synthesizer and percussion, and just a touch of voice that moves to a place beyond words.
Like the river, the music is fluid and flowing, providing a gentle current of changing musical colours. The compositions are lyrical and evocative, blending styles of classical, contemporary jazz, and new age.

A Quote from Julie Blue (Heart of the River)
I''ve always been drawn to the water. To the sea, the stream, the lake, the river...Their fluid whisperings remind me of gentleness, strength, surrender and flow.
If the river were seen as time, or as life that is always rushing by, the Heart of the River is the place of calmness where, even for a brief moment, all is still.
Lullabye for a Grey Whale was inspired by a visit from a long grey whale, and Flying Dolphins by my vivid rememberings of the exuberance of wild dolphins at play. Between the Moon and Sun captures the reverence of an exquisite moonrise and sunset as seen from Long Beach. Close to the Heart is a rearranged version of the themesong for the first film I composed the music for, and Water Passages was inspired by the misty mountain scape over Lillooet Lake.
Water sings so many songs - from the gentle lament of a cold rain to the hypnotic rhythms of a waterfall.
When water sings - my spirit listens,
When water sings - my body moves.
When water sings - my heart answers,
When water sings - my soul is soothed.
