About Christiana
Christiana Thomas has been making music on the Celtic Harp since she was eight years old. Now a late teen, she seeks to bless others with the music she loves.
But while music is a huge part of her life, it's not the only part! In her spare time, you might find Christiana reading, writing, sewing costumes, dressing up her siblings, writing poetry, taking pictures, baking, doing voice-over work or going on a bareback ride on her horse, Robin, down the long gravel road she lives on.
(Between ourselves: She has way too many hobbies!!!)
In addition to Celtic Inspirations, Christiana owns and operates a small, online jewelry business:
I 've always loved music. Some of my earlier memories include begging my Mama to play the songs that she wrote for us on the piano in the living room so we could dance to them.
My older sister's song, 'Reverie', or 'Thoughts about the Lord Jesus', was contemplative and flowed smoothly (like my sister) as we slowly spun around the room.
Mine came next. 'Minuet' was cheerful and upbeat and kept us skipping and twirling in circles.
Caleb's 'Gigue' was the perfect excuse to jump on and off the couch. It had driving energy and rhythm, and we would wear ourselves out by dancing as hard as we could to keep up with the piano.
​
But then, we would come to the last song. It was titled 'Sonatina', or 'The Little Tea Party', and written for my little sister whom we never met. With one of the sweetest tunes I know, I could always feel a distinct difference in this piece. There was a mutually understood reserve when we reached this song as Mama played. Our dancing would slow to soft swaying, or I would sit down with my knees pulled up to my chest and just watch Mama play. Despite the prettiness of the song, or perhaps because of it, I could sense the depth of feeling expressed through the tune. The music talked to me of love and sadness and hope, it spoke of a quiet longing and expectation of meeting in Heaven.
This is what music is. It is so much more than notes on a page or sounds in your ear. Music is a language that can speak and express what words cannot. Music can comfort when human tongues fail. And music can reach farther inside than any doctor's instrument, for music can touch the soul.
​
This is my goal as a musician. I wish to rejoice with those who are happy, cheer those who are sad, calm those who are anxious and help those who are hurting. The only person who can truly and completely do this is God, but He can use me as an instrument in His hand.
