"Tender Dances" is the gift of Life and Music. Dads and daughters dance their own special dances, one leading the other and changing roles according to the music. I wish you: Tender Dances! -- Elisabeth Millenaar

"Fond memories of my father and our "dances" inspired this music. I lost him so suddenly last spring that composing the music helped me to get through the first terrible months of missing him and to celebrate our relationship. My father was a wise man who will live forever in my heart. Every time I sat down to work at this music, images and feelings seemed to float within me, and through the music into the room where I was working. It is now my favourite hideout in the house. Some of the pictures that you see are from my own childhood, impressions of a love and understanding I wish all fathers and daughters could share."
