Mystical Journey, Innocence, Floating, Celestial Waltz, Blessings, Joyous Majesty, and Astral Tango comprise the suite that inspired this album. Those harp arrangements are available in print. Andean Sunset was inspired by the sacred site of Machu Picchu, "the lost city of the Incas," located high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Adele's Lament is a tribute to the composer's mother. It reflects Adele's bitterseet dealings with the "victories," losses and memories during her recovery from a stroke and subsequent adjustments to living in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. Irish poet Thomas Moore set his poem, The Last Rose of Summer, to the lovely traditional Irish air, The Groves of Blarney, in 1805. Williams published her arrangement for harp in her music collection In Brigit's Garden.Memories of  Santorini depicts the windblown hills, whitewashed buildings, clanging church bells, Greek culture, Aegean sunsets and the remnants of the ancient Minoan city of Akrotiri located on the mystical island of Thira. Awakenings was conceived in a dream and written upon awakening.
