about

This album includes channelled & inspired readings with Sarah's music. The readings provide a deep insight into the multi dimensional nature of this music.

Visionary music by Sarah Hopkins for cello, voice, overtone singing, choir, choirchimes, keyboard, mixed quartet & the celestial sounding Harmonic Whirlies. Composed between 1990 & 1993.

"Dreamtime inhabits the world of Sarah Hopkins: a timelessness, an ancient wisdom is set in the lie of her instruments and voice."
- Bernadette Cruise, The Canberra Times

Sarah writes:
"Compositionally I trust the power of the simple, direct & heartfelt & am guided by my intuition. Sometimes dream & visions inspire my music. Often melodies literally "sing though" me ........."

Two of these tracks 'Past Life Melodies' & 'Reclaiming the Spirit' are regularly performed around the world (see Track notes for more info). Published Scores & Parts are available for these tracks from www.sarahhopkins.com
