New light. New moods. Musical messages keep developing .
For us, this album has 3 moods : Hymn moods ( Prayers,Dawn of a new century, Aria, In our tears). Sad mood ( Evensong,Aquarell), dancing/uptempo mood ( Elan, Lore of the loom, Divertimento, Children of the river) and romantic/love mood ( Sona, Dreamcatcher, Moongate)
This album and White Stones have a lot in common. The touching melodies of love is not only a creative musical element but also bring the listeners deep emotions and unforgetable experience/reminders. We think that in our lives, we have been struggling with many problems.When our hearts are filled with despair, we lost in tears and long to find a sign or searching for the peace of mind

Prayer
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
-PrayersThe light of the sun sun took us strolling
with the treasures of the world lying ahead,
Magic stones as bright as our eyes
lighting a path before us
The peace of the woods was music to our hearts
echoing the sound of the streams,
Autumn leaves - the voice on the wind
as nature is the source of our love
Now the stones are dancing in the sky
while the world is quietly sleeping,
Lovely visions in the secret garden,
of dreams floating all around us
Travelling in this forest like a lost soul
Bright stars of knowledge shining for the king
Travelling in this forest like a lost soul
Bright stones lighting our way
Eyes ever shining with light
Eyes under a secret spell
Dreaming of the jewels in the garden
of wonders that will never be revealed
- Sona ( English Translation)
For the very first time the duo record their own vocal parts ( Fi sang Sona/ Dreamcatcher and Rolf on backing vocal). Rolf's voice is warm and Fi's voice reminds ( a little bit) of Enya ( especially when she sings Sona in Gaelic).
That distinguishes Dawn of a new century from other ones
The melancholy flows throughout the album. As always Fi's violin captures true sentimental moods.
Moongate opens the album elegantly and romantically when both violin and bass guitar sound flow and fly endlessly. Dreamcatcher recalls a dark, mysterious space, expressed perfectlly by whispering string sound and voice .
Evensong is like the natural call from long distance. Close our eyes, we can feel the blue echoes on our mind. Aquarell is a sign of silent moments from " a sleepless night" when both piano and violin sound create sound like a gentle whisper.
The album also has a strong side. Title track Dawn of a new century is a perfect combination of instrumental/ orchestral sound, choir( Anuna) and narration. Like a hymn of the history, the song reflects times from the past and yearning for the promisig future. Children of the river takes inspiration from Chinese traditional music, which bring first new strong unique Asian sound to the listeners.
The uptempo songs from the album are lighter than the ones in White Stones. We're impressed by Elan,violin sound shines and rises over the percussion/piano background
