It is music to the ears: a cd inspired by Da Vinci Code

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 2004) – Laura Powers, a Celtic World/Pop recording artist who has received international acclaim for her original music and visual art, has released a new CD of music featuring songs that are influenced and inspired by the best-selling book The Da Vinci Code.
The Da Vinci Code is an intelligent thriller with a compelling blend of history and page-turning suspense. Extensively researched, the novel has inspired controversy, censure and uncommon curiosity as evidenced by a specialized tour industry, the upcoming Sony Pictures film release, and more than a dozen books addressing the story. The book has remained on The New York Times Bestseller List for more than 62 weeks, becoming the best-selling adult book within a one-year period of all time. More than 12 million copies have been sold worldwide. The highly anticipated upcoming motion picture will feature direction by Ron Howard and a script by Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind).
Code of the Goddess, a new release on Red Harp Records, was developed as an "unauthorized companion piece" for Dan Brown's suspense novel. Thirteen song selections with Celtic-infused instrumentation, layered vocals, and evocative lyrics provide a thought-provoking accompaniment to the reader's experience of the book.
"I found the novel so riveting and fascinating, I was moved to create a collection of music that would provide an additional dimension to the characters and story-line," said Powers, whose songs have aired on radio and television around the world. " Code of the Goddess includes new songs inspired by the book, as well as others from my Legends of the Goddess CD trilogy. I believe the music will resonate with readers, giving them an additional connection to the characters."
The Code of the Goddess CD is available at national retailers such as Borders Books & Music and Barnes & Noble, as well as independent booksellers from coast-to-coast. The CD is also available on-line at amazon.com. Internet explorers also may visit the artist's web site, laurapowers.com, to access audio clips and lyrics as well as make purchases.
