Welcome to the music of Cynthia Rylander Crossen. 

I have been writing music and sharing it with others for many decades.  Now the web gives me a chance to make these songs available to anyone who wants them.

My songs express the deepest truths I know.  The purpose of my music is to heal, to bring us together in love, to build bridges between us, to create and strengthen community, to celebrate and give thanks, and to remind us of our connection with the earth.  For these reasons and more, song sharing is my passion.

My songs, rounds, and chants hope to inspire, enliven, empower, comfort, cheer on, bring a sense of peace to the listener, and get folks singing.  For weddings, memorial services, celebrations, and childbirth; sung in living rooms, front porches, forest amphitheaters, and around campfires; made into Universal Dances of Peace–I love for my songs to be used wherever folks want to take them.  This website is for widening the wings of these songs, to find their way to you.
