Secret Garden’s song in solo cornet form

• Piece: You Raise Me Up;
• Composer: Rolf Løvland/Brendan Graham;
• Arranger: Andrew Duncan.

Back in March 2002, Norwegian/Irish group Secret Garden created a song that started life as Silent Story. It was an instrumental piece that took on a life of its own when Brendan Graham added some suitable lyrics. The original song, by Secret Garden was a modest international success.
