11/2004 I have been listening to Dian's CD all day so
far, and it is beautiful. I have not had the time to
meditate with it, but it has been wonderful to have it playing softly in
the background. I have been
trying to get a lot of things done, and have not yet felt stressed out
today, as I do most last days in
the office before a trip. Thank you so much.

11/2004 Dian Pierce
offers music that soothes, music that inspires and music that is please
to the listener.
Pierce's range from the nearly-classical to a world sound that will keep
this disc at the top or your
'favorites' stack. "Soaring" is a collection of pieces
composed by Pierce, predominantly piano in
nature, but laced with a supporting cast of instrumentation that make
for a fabulous mood-setting
album. Produced by fellow MTM member, LaDonna Goetz, Pierce's 2003
release is a masterful
project, blending sounds and sonic textures into a magnum opus unequaled
in today's musical trends.
Light the fire and the candelabra; here's your music for the

As I sat listening to your awesome music, I was transported to places I
had never been. It was truly
an experience I will never forget. I "knew" and understood,
without a doubt, that it was your time
to "SOAR". What a gift you have been given, Dian. I'm thrilled
for you and celebrate with you all the
wonderful opportunities that await you to share your gifts with the
world. Love and Hugs, Joan

I was really wishing I had a drum set on me to join you ladies in a
couple of the fun songs.....

We just got home from the release party for
\'SOARING\' & want to let you know what a great time we had!
Dian made the comment that she visualizes an eagle when she plays
‘Wings’. I visualize a butterfly emerging from
its cocoon. When listening to ‘High Mesa’ I visualize my son flying
with the eagles. On the topic of ‘visualization’,
while Dian was composing ‘from the energy of the audience’, I
visualized our helicopter trip in Kuwait around,
over,& through the mountains & the waterfalls throughout them.
As the music became more intense, I visualized
us dancing at my daughter’s wedding. What made that special was that
my surviving son said he ‘saw’ his brother
& aunt, my deceased older son & sister, dancing along with us.
Thank you for a very memorable evening!

This is the most calming and soothing music I have yet to find to
sleep with or meditate to.
No \"jolts\" back to reality, strictly
\"flow\". My kudos to Dian for the music and to LaDonna
for the production. Melody Dodd

When I first listened to your recent CD, my immediate reaction was
unbridled enthusiasm. After
listening several times more, it's inner quality reveals itself in it's
ability to change my thinking as
as well as my frame of mind. I particularly appreciate the unrushed,
restful pace of the music. Any-
way, thanks for the sensitivity to be able to put all this together in
such a nice way.
Best wishes, David Sisk
As a follow up the next day, David wrote:
As I listen to this music, I tried to pick my favorite and I can't
do that because they are all good.
But I find that Morning and In Memory are very good
relaxation and Wings is a good one
for introspection and reflection. Others may relate to this music in
different ways, but this is how it effects
me.
Thanks are due to you (LaDonna.) for your part as well. I read the
credits on the insert and discovered some
of your talents that I wasn't aware of. But it came as no surprise,
because the skill with which you express
yourself in your music is reflected in your other pursuits.
Congratulations to you both for a job well done!

What a day! We just got home from attending Cathedral Of Light Sunday
Worship Service and are still
talking about it. Hearing Dian (and LaDonna) play is always such a joy
for us. In fact, we invited a friend
to join us this morning and he had as pleasant an experience as we did!
There is just no way to explain
how we felt when, all of a sudden, we heard you playing High Mesa (track
6). Thank you s-o-o-o-o very
much! We love you both!! Randy & KAThy Friedberg Parents to Harlan

WOW!!!!!! I love this CD. It absolutely touches my spirit and soul, to
be the oneness within,
and be free. (Ohhh and yes, it's a legal feel good thing.) Seriously,
this is an absolutely beautiful
work of art. It's overwhelming and hard to put into words how relaxed
and full of love I feel
after listening to this CD. I recommend this CD to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Thank you Dian for your
talent and thank you LaDonna for your producing talents. May this
be the first of many.
Lots of Love...always, Becky

The following is an excerpt from an email I received the morning after
my last show. Kat has a column
called Kats Sunday Report and says...This Sunday Report is going
to be shared by many people and
not just Grieving Parents members. (Kat is a member of the Grieving
Parents Organization)
....I
have a song written by LaDonna Goetz, "Can You Hear Me",
from her "Letting Go" CD, on Harlan's website . .
. http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/five_fourever/canyouhearme.html.
Well, LaDonna is in the process of engineering/producing her
music director, Dian Pierce's, first CD, which will, hopefully, be out
the end of this month, October. Randy and I went to hear LaDonna
and Dian at a Coffeehouse near us where we found out that we
could dedicate a song on "Soaring", Dian's upcoming CD,
for $100. Well, guess what we did?! We dedicated a
song in memory of Harlan! If you're interested in hearing some
of the songs from the CD here is the link . . . http://ladonnagoetz.com/Soaring.html.
This
opportunity could not have come at a better time! Because of the
upcoming B'Nai Mitzvah of Randy, Daryl, and me on Dec. 6th of this
year, I have been "down", knowing that Harlan won't be there
to watch his parents and little brother [Little? He's 20!]
celebrate this special occasion....
luv,
kat
