Aurora, words and music by Richard Carpenter (Almo Music Corp., Sweet Harmony Music and Hammer & Nails Music, ASCAP, 1975).

My dreams are songs I play....

Introduced to music on such instruments as accordion and flute, Karen Carpenter finally chose drums then voice as the vehicles for conveying her extraordinary musical talents. She simultaneously developed as well as perfected her skill on both, reaching a level that not only helped to give her and her brother's duo "Carpenters" a professional start, but propelled it to the very top of the recording and entertainment industry. There they stayed for almost a decade. Sadly, she left us while in the midst of exploring new musical ventures and venues. But not before earning worldwide recognition as indisputably one the century's greatest, most memorable singers. Hers is a rich legacy that will continue to bring warmth and joy into the lives of countless others long, long after this author has gone.
