"Come With Me... Into The Sea Of Love...!"
Hmm... who sang that, again?!? *lol*

Aquaficionada Mermaid &

appear too enthralled with one another to even care...!

(The playlist embedded here, years ago,
has met its demise, yes;
but the music
will never die!)

Ahoy! We also have a YouTube playlist here, anyhow... Walk the plank for it now, maties! FOR IT PLAYS ON! (and on and on!)

Proudly supporting the F.I.N. since 2012! (Freedom Informant Network) --- and please take a moment to click and subscribe to the various YouTube channels that have fed all the material that the playlist above comprises. Much material was lost for lack of subscribers - that and several copyright claims, too... But that's another story! Subscribe - even when they separate the sub from the scribe and it reads, therefore, merely as ''suscribe'' then...

But to answer the original question...

Never mind who sang what; I have found my orchestra, at last!

Here it is:

Muses of Aqua
Luminous World Orchestra
2009
Film-score composer Steven Chesne created the Luminous World Orchestra in order to merge the music of meditation and yoga with the sweeping, emotional, grand orchestral music he creates at his day job. The results on the LWO's debut, Deva, were astounding, and for their sophomore follow-up they do not disappoint, taking the same approach and going even deeper into the zone where mysticism and classicism combine and form new beautiful, new visions in the clearing mist. Utilizing orchestra music's potential for conjuring emotional responses, and with an ear for transcendence and beauty, the Luminous World Orchestra hums with inspired late-night brilliance. It’s the perfect soundtrack for meditations the night after a session of deep massage or acupuncture, when toxins and long-repressed emotions come suddenly pouring out in gushes of tears and grateful sighing.

Such a key moment is heard early on in the gorgeous "Grassland," which hovers in a field with beautiful woodwinds that sound slow and dreamy in an elegiac meditation over deep, supportive strings. A single flute rises softly above the rest for the high-end plaintive note before surrendering the center back to the strings, which roll over it all in a forgiving, cleansing sweep. "Beautiful Release" explores the Asian environment with the exotic erhu violin and chunky bells and harps rummaging amidst the strings supporting the crying erhu.

The mood of wistful sad reverie continues beautifully with the hypnotic mournfulness of "Twilight Flight," which lives up to its name. It’s a flight seeming to be going home from visiting a beautiful place and perhaps leaving the love of your life behind, with moody, deep string passages underwriting cycling acoustic guitar and, finally, uplifting flutes. Emotional and deeply satisfying on all levels, Muses of Aqua lives up to its exotic title, creating something at once both dizzyingly beautiful and hypnotic, all without ever being over the top or commanding attention with sharp, jagged atonal edges or sappy interludes. The Luminous World Orchestra is something you can play for your cool friends who blanche at more "earnest" New Age music, creating instead an ideal mood for writing long, sad letters to faraway lovers, or just gazing out the window on a cloudy day, as well as for meditation or healing work. With the LWO, there is no difference between art and illumination, and even the depths of the sea can feel your love in their soft, pulsating waves.
