 Most favorite CD ever August 10, 2008
Lyn D (Maine)
I have played this CD so much that I have even memorized the words in the Gaelic songs (and I don't know the language or even the meanings of the words). This is not what you want to play at your next party but if you want to be soothed or relax then this works great. Her voice and her music are magic.
Sheet Music for the Beautiful CD February 16, 2005

The album "Shepherd Moons" was incredibly beautiful. The music was frequently ethereal and haunting, almost fragile in its delicacy. While it may be impossible for most of us to do anything but hum along, here is a book of her music for the CD. The music for all twelve pieces is included, along with a little background for each piece.
Enya's music is so beautiful, airy and spiritual, that most instruments will yield an interesting interpretation. However, there are some instruments that will be more suitable than others. Keyboards of course, since much of Enya's music is on piano, but guitar, recorder, and violin are among the others that can keep various flavors of her music. I myself prefer the haunting tone of the recorder, keeping in mind that you have to modify the music to accommodate the range of the recorder. I prefer a deeper voiced recorder, I have a tenor recorder, because the music can be slowed for the more haunting songs and I like the emotion that you can put into a song with a tenor recorder.
As with any music, there are challenging pieces and places, but there is also easier music to play from this CD. That the pace of much of the music is relatively slow helps for learning and musical interpretation rather than the much faster pace of rock or even a lot of classical music. Learning to play music from this CD is a fascinating way to enjoy Enya's music.

I learned to play the piano with Miss Claire Remembers from Watermark. This stuff is so easy to play and sounds so beautiful... and it is easy to memorize, I don't even need the book anymore.
a great book! February 21, 2001

The music in Shepherd Moons is easier to play than Memory of Trees. An advanced player could easily sightread the music; therefore, it is not a challenging book. However, the music is gorgeous and fun to play. I've been playing it every day since I bought the book last week.
Great music to play March 11, 2000

This is a really good music book. Shepherd Moons is my favorite Enya album and now I have fun playing the music. I'velearned how to play No Holly For Miss Quinn very well. This music is at first hard to play(which shows how advanced her music is)but if you stretch your hands and practive often, you may be able to play very well.Enya's music is very well arranged. The music often smoothly changes key majors and flows from measure to measure. People studying music theory will probably like to look at this book and see Enya's structure of music. Any critic of her music should get this book and see how well written her music is. It's very nicely done.
