Terra Sancta is that sacred place where our soul is nurtured and our spirits open to the Eternal. 

These solo improvisations I call "tone poems". They are inspired by a place, a being, an experience through music.  As I begin to play, I have no pre-conception of what notes I will use. I set my hands on the keyboard, letting my fingers find the first notes. Sometimes I hear in my head the next possibilities, other times I listen to the spontaneous music coming from my fingers. The structure of the piece takes on its own balance as the image in my mind unfolds.  

There is no overdubbing, except for my voice and the "tin-sha" in Sacred Tree.  Most pieces are just as I played them the first time. 

Half of this music is from a recording sessions in 1986. The others were done at the end of a harp recording session in 1999.
