(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 love Satie and Debussy! I'm so glad he put them together in this piece. Absolutely gorgeous. Stops me in my tracks.
Ryan Reilly
Amazing violinist. Her technique I mean. Her style of playing just reaches out and touches your soul.

This piece is so soothing and comforting. I play this for my cats, relaxes them, puts them to sleep. My sweet cat, Orangee, passed away yesterday so now this is comforting me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wade Lee Torres
I'm "so sorry" for your loss. I "absolutely love & adore❤🐱🐈🐈⬛" cats, and to me, they are one of the "most beautiful" animals in the world. Since 2007, I've owned fourteen cats, and lost half of them. I've "cried" like a little kid when I lost each one. Their lifespan seems so short, compared to ours, and when they go to heaven, my heart is broken every time. But, I thank God for putting me in their path to give them a good home, and to give them as much love as I possibly can.....Even if it's just a short while. Take Care.🥺😢
Boots Armstrong
@Wade Lee Torres thanks for the nice comments. We feel the same way about the four-legged felines.
Color Me Geeky
I feel like I am happiest in the clouds. Thank you for this beautiful piece. 🙂

This song makes me think of my childhood. I guess a more happier peaceful time . Very beautiful . Nostalgic.

If there is music in paradise, I think it would be this song. At least it would be enough for me! It's like sacred music.
