Music：Serenade to Spring
Artist：Secret Garden

Secret Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing New Instrumental Music, also understood by some as Neo-classical music. It features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. It was the first and only time to date that a predominantly instrumental piece has won the Eurovision Song Contest.

Their success at Eurovision spearheaded the success of their first album Songs from a Secret Garden. Barbra Streisand adapted "Heartstrings" from this album as the song "I've Dreamed Of You" on her A Love Like Ours album. She also used "Heartstrings" in her wedding to James Brolin.

The album White Stones followed in 1997 also making the top ten on Billboard New Age charts. Dawn of a New Century, again with lyrics by Petter Skavlan, in 1999, Dreamcatcher in 2001 and Once In a Red Moon also enjoyed success around the world including reaching top ten on the Billboard.

Their most famous song "You Raise Me Up", performed by Brian Kennedy has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists. This song is very similar in rhythm and harmony to the Irish Folk song "Danny Boy" except for the second half of the phrase.

Secret Garden has released a Dreamcatcher: Best Of album for its tour through Australia and New Zealand in 2004. It reached the top of the Australian New Age charts and the ARIA top 50 album charts.
