"On A Rising Wind" now on iTunes

Now only $1.99 for 643 seconds of original music - that's 18 cents per minute!  But wait.  There's more.  You don't have to pay every time you play it!  You only pay once and then you can listen to it FREE FOREVER!

When "On A Rising Wind" was released to iTunes, apple priced it as an EP at $9.99.  Of course, TOTALLY WORTH IT for over ten-and-a-half minutes of music!  But my intention was to price it as a single composition at merely $1.99.  After a bit of intervention through official channels, the price has now been "corrected."  Let the flood of downloads begin!

New music - "On A Rising Wind" - released

My longest composition so far.  I have been volunteering with the National Park Service doing some raptor monitoring, and have had flight on my mind a lot lately.  I think some of the musical themes in "On A Rising Wind" reflect that.

The track photo is a composite of two of my photos with an falcon in the foreground and some nice scenery in Rocky Mountain National Park in the background.

Check out some musical previews and a more detailed description of my thoughts about this composition on my "Music" page.

Live with Janice Young at Lyons Fork, Lyons, CO

"Sky Poem" available on iTunes

"Sky Poem" released

I just released "Sky Poem" - it is already on CDBaby and should appear with the rest of my released music on iTunes/Apple Music shortly.

"Sky Poem" is a tribute to the big skies over the Front Range of Colorado's Rocky Mountains and features big horns and strings, big percussion, and a sweeping, majestic feel.

I have also produced a video to go along with the music that includes time-lapse photography of some amazing skies over Lyons, Colorado:

Two additional compositions released to iTunes and CDBaby

Compositions titled "Susquehanna" and "Flying Cloud" are now also released to iTunes and CDBaby.  "Susquehanna" is a piano-centric piece that imagines the development of a river from a small quiet seep in some remote hillside, gaining power and strength as it flows, until it finally dissipates into the sea.  And "Flying Cloud" is a straight-ahead bluegrass arrangement that reminds me of the rolling motion of a sailing vessel.

You can preview them by going to the Music page.
