Notes from the composer:
Since the turn of the millennium I have been playing mostly improvised
concerts to honor the solstices and equinoxes on the Kawai concert grand
piano in the Prayer Dome of the United Research Light Center in Black
Mountain, NC. The Light Center has hosted me to record two CDs in the
past; “Light Music” in 1996 and “Music of Peace,” recorded on the Kawai
in 2006.
On the night of the Winter Solstice, in December 2022 i was facing some
dark thoughts, wondering if I would ever record again. In the midst of
these thoughts I realized that I was perfectly prepared to crystallize the
music I’d been playing on the solstices and equinoxes into a four-album
series of piano meditation recordings.
Spring Equinox Piano Meditations is the first offering of the series. It was
recorded live in concert on March 18, 2023 and in private session on
March 20, 2023 at the Light Center. This album also has a significant video
component available at https://richheartmusic.com/ and wherever the
music is streamed.
Special thanks to Leslie Cotney and Sarah Gayle at the Light Center for
logistical and heartfelt support for this project! And special thanks to Tanya
Gupta for finding the beauty in this music and expressing it through video.
To Listeners: May this music bless you and add to your joy…
