Editorial Reviews
The Birmingham News, Nancy Raabe
"...Daphne was deftly constructed. Its intricate fabric of motifs...woven with a sure hand... colors gauged by a sensitive ear..
Album Description
Daphne at Sea is a story of the power of music to produce in us recollections of the past and to bring hope and promise to the future. Daphne at Sea addresses questions of reality from a post-modern perspective, a perspective that replaces magic and myth with a language of a concrete reality that breaks down temporal boundaries. The central characters are Jenny and Gabriel (who are engaged to be married), Jenny's mother Daphne (who is against the marriage), and Urusla (a noted psychiatrist). Jenny and Gabriel take Daphne on a cruise to see if they can get her relaxed enough to discuss the marriage reasonably in an attempt to discover why she is antagonistic towards Gabriel. During a heated argument between Daphne and Jenny, Jenny discovers that Daphne's refusal to go along with the marriage is related to Daphne's experience with her husband (Jenny's father) as well as Daphne's father. Daphne becomes so agitated with Jenny that she literally has a stroke. Upon awakening from the stroke, Daphne has an aural hallucination of a melody from her past which triggers associated visions. Daphne discovers that she was mistaken in her understanding of her past, that her own father's abuse caused her to see evil in others where it perhaps did not exist. Daphne's painful world is cleansed by a long-forgotten musical memory.
