Leaving
my Silent Empty House
I
just released this album in December 2008 together with my daughter
who plays the cello.
The gentle
and melodious material on ’Leaving my Silent Empty House’
is partly new, partly well-known material of my own composition
except for one track. All cello arrangements are done by Josefine.

The
Journey and the Dream
In December
2005 I released my first album titled "The Journey and the
Dream". The album presents eleven of my own compositions for
solo harp and three interpretations of traditional Irish folk melodies.
The
music is calm and peaceful, melodious and harmonious. It is music
for relaxation and contemplation, music that brings peace and takes
you along on a journey.
On this
page you can listen to extracts from the album and order it.
If you want
to acquire it, you can send an order by e-mail to
or order it from cdon.com or from
music stores in Denmark. You can buy the album or individual tracks
as downloads from itunes.com.

General
information
Trine
was born in 1965 in Norway and moved to Denmark at the age of six.
As a child and teenager she played the accordion and won a number
of national and international prices with this instrument.
After graduating from law school and having two children, she decided
to make an old dream come true: to learn to play the harp.Trine
acquired her first Celtic harp in 1996. Playing and composing for
the harp and working with simple expression has set free a great
deal of creative energy and brought her closer to
her innermost self.
She is now a professional composer and performer in many different
settings. Trine plays at concerts, receptions and weddings, at church
services and in hospices, rest homes and hospitals.
Her music is melodious and harmonious. She works very consciously
with breathing, which is reflected in the music and makes it very
relaxing.
On this album you will find a number of Trine’s own compositions
and her interpretations of three traditional tunes.
