Description

An album (Audio CD) that combines beautiful music with profound lyrics that speak to anyone facing a major transition or loss.

“An album of exquisite beauty, originally designed for those facing death and bereavement, I would passionately recommend SERENADE AT THE DOORWAY to anyone in the midst of a profound life transition.”
~ John Robbins – Pulitzer Prize Nominee

Also addressing issues of life and death, Serenade at the Doorway combines beautiful music with profound lyrics that speak to anyone facing a major transition or loss. The album is a standard at many hospices. Its lyrics and music take people deep into the issues involved with death and dying, or any other significant loss, and transports them into a more peaceful, safe, and spiritually uplifting state of awareness.

Sensitive lyrics and melodies provide gentle, vibrant support for anyone who is going through a difficult transition, whether it be a life-threatening illness, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a relationship, dream, or a way of life. Serenade at the Doorway takes us on a journey that strengthens us, helps us to a larger vision that brings wisdom, comfort, and inspiration. It is being enjoyed by a broad spectrum of individuals facing major life changes and is also being used increasingly by physicians, clergy, therapists, hospice workers, and others in the healing arts. The beauty of Ann Mortifee’s voice, coupled with the passion and poetry of the album’s astute guidance, make it a rare and uplifting gift.
