Loreena McKennitt, Lisa Lynne, The Chieftains, Clannad, Celtic Women, Andreas Vollenweider, Enya, Kim Robertson, Grainne Hambly, Dervish, and all things celtic, medieval, and folk.
I was trained as a classical pianist and was influenced by the music of Van Cliburn, Rubenstein and others, but I also loved the popular arrangements of Roger Williams.
I grew up in Tennessee, so I have to say that Patsy Cline and country music is a personal favorite, but I love music of all styles ranging from Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell, to Madonna to Steph Carse.

Victoria Lynn Schultz has first climbed onto a piano bench to play music as the age of four and by seven was composing original melodies, At fourteen, she studied with concert pianists Nelson and Neal.
Victoria continued her studies in piano, voice and composition to earn a Bachelor of Music Degree from the conservatory of Music at UMKC and a Master of Music Degree from Drake University. After playing the harp of a friend, she became enchanted with the beautiful tone that only a harp can produce, and discovered the perfect medium for her unique original sound.
With a lineage that has been traced back to the MackIntosh castle in Inverness, Scotland, Victoria Lynn has returned to her heritage to specialize in the harp music of Ireland and Scotland. Traveling to Europe to train with the experts in Irish and Scottish harp, she has toured with the legendary Grammy Award winning Irish band “The Chieftains” as a featured soloist. She also toured and performed with Josh Groban, Clay Aiken, Peabo Bryson, Roberta Flack. . .

Victoria was chosen to demonstrate Celtic harps for a National Television Holiday Special to showcase “The Harp Connection”,
She is listed in “Who’s Who of American Women” and has won almost every award in her field of music. Her “Celtic Suite” for harp won the FHF “Original Music Competition” award, and “Mystic Waters” received the FHF People’s Choice Award.
After five solo albums, a meditation CD, and being featured on 6 compilation CD’s, her solo album, "Soothing Harp" which included four of her original compositions, was released internationally by Madacy Records, and was a featured item in the Avon “Inspirational Treasures” Catalogue.

i heard there was a secret chord that david played and it pleased the lord but you don't really care for music, do you well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth the minor fall and the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to her kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before i've seen this room and i've walked this floor i used to live alone before i knew you i've seen your flag on the marble arch but love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know what's really going on below but now you never show that to me do you but remember when i moved in you and the holy dove was moving too and every breath we drew was hallelujah
well, maybe there's a god above but all i've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
