Oh, What a Beautiful City!

Oh, What a Beautiful City!

I was asked to provide some flute music as part of a fund-raiser for the GEMS of the Antilles, and here is a run-through of one of the spirituals that I selected for the eclectic program. The concert was amazing, and I’m looking forward to posting some of that wonderful music for you!

This is the view looking out on Lake Ontario from my music studio at the Cawthra Adamson Division of the Royal Conservatory. Not a bad place to teach, any season of the year, but especially in the autumn with the incredible colours…unless you are easily spooked - apparently this is one of the hot-spots of haunted Canadian locations.

It is most definitely haunted, eriously, but in the best possible way…just listen to these warm acoustics, how they lift you up and carry you away, the sound of this traditional spiritual, like a lullaby, dissolving the weight of the world…you almost feel yourself floating away to another universe, where you leave your cares behind…enveloped by the warm voice of the flute, together with this amazing view…forever…

See what I mean??!
