The Story of Noah's Ark - A Musical Interpretation

(British Columbia circa 1979)

Composed and performed by JoAnn Derden

The music on Noah is compelling by itself; with a few perfectly placed special effects added by JoAnn's son, Paul Derden, the listener may think he's right with Noah....

Hi, JoAnn. Just heard the CD and we both love it! Maybe it is the best you have ever done! Today I put Humpty (the sound system) back together again, and the first thing that we played was your CD. We both thought that it was amazing! Susan thinks that it would be a natural for an interpretive dance thing. I just think that it is great, and I would like to purchase a few CDs for friends and relatives. Let me know how to do this. Thanks for the CD, and keep up the wonderful work!

Helen, Thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL CD for Kara and I on Noah's Ark... we are entertained nightly. She rocks back and forth to the music.... Music speaks to her, and it is one of her joys... along with chocolate. It was kind of you.
