Elements of this work were recorded over a several year period culminating in an intense two years of creation, artistry and innovative production. The music is rich and dynamic and spans multiple genres from classical to country to rock to fusion. Excellent instrumentalists and vocalists bring magic to the performances and imbue each song with lush detail and nuance. Every track is arranged and recorded to give the listener the best possible experience and to develop the depth and meaning of the music. The themes and experiences of common human life are divided into four acts: The Early Life Quartet Angels and Bells...Life in the womb, birth and a message from Mother about how things work around here. Ghost Riders in the Sky...Childhood fears and a reminder that you had better shape up or you are going to hell. Gabriel's Oboe...Youthful idealism and the long, slow passage of time. Wild Heart...Youth lost and first regrets. The Love Trilogy Wait a Minute Waltz...Chaotic, confusing Romance. Meeting, Euphoria, Intertwining. Heartstrings...True love found. If Time Could Change...True love betrayed. The Awakening Trilogy My Beautiful Reward...Disillusionment with desire and the realization that all that glitters is not gold. The Maker...The pain of estrangement from the Creator and the yearning for reunion. The Wheel...The wheel goes 'round and 'round but there is a reason. The Final Act Knockin' On Heaven's Door...Dying Midnight...The exact moment between the old day and the new. Death. Call From An Old Love...Release from life and the vision of heaven. The CD comes in a jewel case with art and a beautiful 12 page booklet with lyrics and credits. It has been engineered for the best possible audio enjoyment. 60 minutes.
