Over the past 500 years, there is a tradition that many classical music compositions are the soundtrack to a story, a person or a place -- Peter and the wolf, the Blue Danube, the rodeo, the devil, etc. Following this path is Jeffrey Fisher, who composed and performed the new CD FAIRY TALES, which is based on the old tales for children written by Hans Christian Andersen.

Of course, as with so much contemporary music, Fisher created the music on a synthesizer, but the instrumental sounds re-create a full traditional symphony orchestra. Fisher strives to capture the moods and personalities of those classic childhood fantasies of �Thumbellina� (the tiny adventuresome girl), �Red Shoes� (the selfish dancer) and �The Mermaid� (who falls in love with a human prince). Fisher�s music originally scored a ballet based on these stories.

This is creative modern neo-classical, new age, orchestra-instrument music that works on its own as a listening experience, but also can be enjoyed as a worthwhile family experience.

Fisher�s previous six CDs all were new age material, but with this one he stretches out into the modern classical arena using the sounds of many different instruments found in a symphony orchestra. Fisher is very adept with his melodies, moods and instrument choices.
