RANDOM MAGIC TOUR: WINTERLONG MUSICAL BLOG HOP!

Music is a strong theme in Random Magic -- so strong, in fact, that one of the celestial characters Winnie and Henry meet is Efterpe, the Muse of music.

In celebration of the winter season, here’s a fun blog hop to check out. You’ll find lovely songs with wintry themes that also match some of the important themes in the book.

Come sit by the fire and enjoy a musical feast for friends with us...

You are here: #9 of 10 (The True Book Addict)



I Heard the Bells - Casting Crowns
Song and book themes: Hope - Light

Random Magic quote:

The night air filled with the charming sound of a hundred silver bells. “Ah,” [she] breathed, closing her eyes briefly to better savor the sound.
“C’est magique.” (More)

(If you enjoy a particular music pick, please consider buying the track to help support the person or group that created it for everyone’s enjoyment. River of Light is the unofficial soundtrack for the 2010 Random Magic winter season tour, Random Magic: Winterlong. Happy listening!)

Reader notes: The songwriter, who adapted lyrics from a 19th century poem to create the song, shares some background history and notes on creative process in this video interview: About the song (00:43 to 3:29)
