More CD Information
Autumn has always been my favorite season. There’s something in the crispness of the air, the golden light, the rustle of leaves underfoot that invites both awe and surrender. It’s a time to snuggle in, breathe deeper, and honor the rhythms that move us inward.
Autumn Tapestry is a musical offering woven from my love for this sacred season. Each piece is a thread—some vibrant, some reflective, some delightfully playful—that together create a landscape of sound and feeling. From the bold richness of Harvest to the gentle hush of November Nostalgia, this collection celebrates the beauty of change, the mystery of cycles, and the quiet power of simply allowing.
These compositions invite you to slow down, to notice, to remember—and most of all, to trust the unfolding.

About the Composer--Ann Ruane
Ann shares stories through music, weaving emotion, imagery, and memory into each note. She writes the way others might gather colors into a quilt — layering moments, memories, and moods until they form a single, living piece.
Autumn Tapestry was born from her love of the season’s quiet beauty — the rustle of leaves, the lingering light at day’s end, and the tender hush that comes before winter. Each melody is a thread, carrying the warmth of connection and the beauty of change.
As both performer and composer, Ann believes music is a bridge — between moments, between people, and between the seen and unseen. She invites you to let these notes drift through your own moments, bringing the same warmth to your fingertips that they did to her heart while writing them.
