Morning
Whispers is the result of a special commission designed to create a
cycle of songs for solo piano dedicated to healing and joyful passion.
To be sure, there is an overwhelming feeling of lovingness within these
songs, but a strong current of melancholy and, more importantly,
exploration and courage help bring to this music a depth that goes
beyond the original intent. The end result is poetic and inspirational.
There are moments of innocence and simplicity, moments of cascading key
changes and aural wonder, moments of passion and exultation. Many of the
songs run 5-8 minutes, epic compositions that move in and out of themes
with ease, displaying a brilliant sense of variation and virtuosity. The
collection coheres as if it were a single piece. |
