Music World, England:
Listening to Garella’s music, one breathes an Aura of freedom and one is invited to travel to worlds of Light and Harmony. His compositions recall an ancient way of composing, attentive to the intervals and the purity of the intonations, just as one might equally imagine the great Italian Renaissance artists such as Monteverdi or Marenzio must have written.

Tuning fork,France 1997:
an album has arrived in the world of classical music that uses the voice and stringed instruments to create a state of well-being and relaxation in the listener. It is in particular Daniele Garella who composed this music for harp, soprano and piano. On the Healing River CD the melody is always sung and leaves the listener truly enchanted. And it cannot be objected that the enchantment is also not very communicative: the magic of this music shines very clearly.

Meaning and power in Daniele Garella’s compositions

Daniele Garella’s compositions possess the ability to enrich one’s Being by creating positivity, energy, inspiration. Whoever listens to Healing River (1996), The Healing Source (1997), Healing Music (1999), or Alquimia (2007) gets the opportunity to bring Harmony and Light to their emotional and spiritual world. If I had to describe Daniele Garella’s music I think that expressions like “An invitation to the Journey to the Open” or “Esoteric music for our time” would be the best definitions. In fact, Daniele Garella, in addition to being a musician, is also a spiritual researcher who has chosen music as a place of meditation for his inner experiences. It is no secret his connection with the teaching of esoteric masters such as Rudolf Steiner and George I. Gurdjieff, or the fact that he was struck by early Christianity, especially by the heretical movement of the Cathars, of which he is a profound connoisseur. . Daniele Garella is also an appreciated scholar of psycho-astrology spiritual.

“Anywhere on Earth – so he himself claims – there are precise indications to grasp the meaning of the ancient Delphic motto “Know thyself”, which also means knowing and recognizing the nature of the Universe. “And his compositional research ideally starts from the invitation of Delphi: how for the Greeks of the classical age, even for Daniele Garella music has value in terms of experience for the Soul. The Greeks composed for the soul, treated man with sounds, as they equally knew how to do with the Teatro della ” catharsis “: their era of art therapy, art for the Essence. For this reason, in his composing, Daniele Garella pays utmost attention to the choice of musical intervals as well as harmonies, to the cantability of the melodic lines as well as to the rhythm, since he wants the through his music, he makes an exploratory journey and, consequently, of growth, in the lands of his own Self. The artist, for Daniele Garella, in fact also has the task, through Beauty, of giving something essential and positive to an audience that has always been waiting to “receive” and to be “initiated” to the truest emotions. Therefore, even before an invitation to travel, a “passionate” invitation to Listening.
