(1) Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing New Instrumental Music, also understood by some as Neo-classical music.
It features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. Secret Garden has sold over 3 million albums and won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway in 1995, with the composition Nocturne. It was the first and only time to date that a predominantly instrumental piece has won the Eurovision Song Contest, although a few Norwegian language lyrics were included to ensure that the entry adhered to the contest's rules. In addition Rolf Løvland also co-wrote the song La det swinge (Let it swing) that secured Norway its first Eurovision Song Contest victory in 1985.
Their success at Eurovision spearheaded the success of their first album Songs from a Secret Garden. It sold a million copies around the world going platinum in Norway and Korea, gold in Ireland, Hong Kong and New Zealand and spending two years in the Billboard New Age charts in 1996 and 1997. Barbara Streisand adapted Heartstrings from this album as the song I've Dreamed Of You on her A Love Like Ours album. She also used Heartstrings in her wedding to James Brolin.
The album White Stones followed in 1997 also making the top ten on Billboard New Age charts. Dawn of a New Century in 1999, Dreamcatcher in 2001 and Once In a Red Moon also enjoyed success around the world including reaching top ten on the Billboard.
Their most famous song You Raise Me Up, performed by Brian Kennedy has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists including Josh Groban and Westlife.
Secret Garden has released a Dreamcatcher: Best Of for its tour through Australia and New Zealand in 2004. It reached the top of the Australian New Age charts and the ARIA top 50 album charts.
Rolf Løvland won the price of years line-price in Spellemann 2007. In that same year, the album Inside I'm Singing was released.

I used to sit in tall grass, feeling the breeze flow through my hair, the sun kiss my face, the grass beneath my feet.. I'd be listening to this for hours, over and over. I was in a totally different world :) - Love you forever, Secret Garden.

I first heard this song when I was rooting around in the CD collection of the therapist that was having a marriage counseling session for my parents. I must have been about 11. It had such an impact on me that I decided to commit the song title, artist, and album to memory. It wasn't until I was about 16 that I actually looked it up, but somehow my distracted, wandering, teenaged memory actually recalled all of that information. To this day, this song provides me with motivation when I lack it, and confidence that maybe my brain isn't broken.
...Thanks for posting.

Been listening to Secret Garden for the last 25 years of my life. This is one of my favorite songs from them and it still is!

This song gets me on my feet, and makes me want to make little fairy step, as I dance off to this on a cliff that stands next to the open sea. I can hear the waves washing against the rocks, sometimes harsh and sometimes gentle. I wave my hands into the air, and I see flocks of migrating birds majestically travelling in a formation. The wrath of flower on my head sways with my hair, as I twist and twirl to every beat. Bring me to the Heavens, and back when the song ends.

There is an unusual and undefined power in this music. Constantly reminds me that everything is in motion.
