IN THE GARDEN is the fifth release from Narada duo Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel. Tingstad and Rumbel are dedicated gardeners as well as respected environmentalists. The featured instrumentation consists of acoustic guitars, oboe, english horn, ocarinas and cheng, with guest performers David Lanz on piano, Paul Speer on electric guitar, James Reynolds on synthesizers and Steven Ray Allen on bass. NARADA is donating a portion of the proceeds to the National Gardening Association, the Center for Plant Conservation and the Seed Savers Exchange.
It would be hard to find an artist that epitomizes warm acoustic folk music quite like the duo of Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel. Their holiday albums, THE GIFT and STAR OF WONDER, are the very essence of what makes the holidays so joyful - both albums are filled with quiet, beautiful music that is simple and elegant. PEACE ON EARTH features highlights from both of those albums, as well as two previously unreleased tracks: "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Catalan." Tingstad's acoustic guitar and Rumbel's oboe, English horn and ocarina interweave on a dozen seasonal chestnuts, which include songs like "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Silent Night," "Good King Wenceslas" and others.
