Light In Heaven’s Window~CD Soloist Series Vol No. 8

This piece would serve well as a meditation. Beginning with a quiet Celtic lilt, the center section is stronger and bolder. After several bell effects, the piece returns to the mood of the beginning.

Taken from the “Messiah”, this solo with piano is essentially a transcription of the original work. The balance in the writing between the solo and the accompaniment gives way to the sensitivity of the text of this well-know aria..

This solo is technically demanding while depicting the content of its title. While it is a provocative title with soul-searching implications, the results of its message produces a great deal of joy- salvation! The themes and embellishments presented here certainly enhances the joyous conclusion of such a concept and then moves to a rather solemn reflection of the wonder of it all.

This bubbly rendition of “Come Thou Fount” is effervescent from beginning to end. It is filled with movement and excitement expressing intense joy throughout.

This solo with piano begins with a simple statement of the tune with a middle section that uses motivic design, only to return to the opening statement.
