Quotes:
"Wonderful music from a talented musician."
-Ann Reed
"Features works with a new-age, relaxing sound, underscored by classical technique and command of the piano."
-New Haven Register
 
"Van Auken's compositions move between introspection and celebration, rooted in the land and the connections that bind her to it."
-Shepherd Express
 
Patty is currently working on a songbook of her own compositions. Some of Gretchen's pieces from Clouds on the Mountain will be included in this collection. Patty also edited the musical notation in Quill Me a Lullaby, a wonderful book of songs about trains, written by master songwriter, Larry Penn.
