The vibrations of harp strings, warm and resonant melting tones, are a fitting companion to Linda DeHart's surprising Swirl Painting Series. The marriage of these art forms generates beauty, intimacy, and a sense of connection to the divine, to all beings, to the universe. The score for this Touchstone is Catharine DeLong's original work and includes a thread of the Celtic melody "Mantle of Green."
 
As a certified Contemplative Musician and Music-Thanatologist* in the greater New York City area, Catharine DeLong serves the dying and their loved ones with harp and voice, delivering prescriptive music at the bedside to alleviate physical pain and emotional or spiritual suffering. Contemplative music creates a safe haven where listeners may set aside fear and anxiety, inviting them to be present to their end-of-life experience. A music vigil integrates silence as a vehicle for making meaning of both living and dying. "It is my wish to create music that honors the sacredness of life," says Catharine.
