The Most Beautiful Music from Secret Gardens, Secret Garden is primarily made up of Norwegian Composer Rolf Lovland and irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry. The concept of Secret Garden is, to quote Lovland "A garden in which we can seek refuge when times are rough, or retire to in joy or contemplation." This song Nocturne was inspired by traditional moods and was written in 1992, and signaling the start of the Secret Garden collaboration. The singer was Gunnhild Tvinnereim, and the lyrics by Petter Skavlan.
"The idea of Secret Garden is one that everyone can relate to. We all have landscapes inside us, secret rooms where feelings and impressions grow as a little garden. We have individual ways of finding this garden. Some talk about it, write poems or letters, paint, or even talk a walk to reflect over life. We all have our own way. But what is common to us, is a strong emotional feeling that is an essential part of our nature......"--- Rolf Lovland
