These original compositions, arranged and performed by the composer, are full of beautiful melodies and rich harmonies of piano and keyboard, with strings, choir, flute, harp, guitar, French horn, bassoon and music box. The audio equivalent of a hug from a beloved friend, this CD wraps you warmly in its embrace with each encounter; the joy that informs the compositions (and the resulting serenity) is both palpable and contagious. - David Young, The New Times, Seattle, Wash.
