Sunflower Serenity
is the first in the Candlelight Guitarist's "Watercolor Odyssey" CD series, an instrumental music cycle. This musical journey will feature divers water and nature sounds, set in many locales as backdrops for the instrumental settings and themes.
The musical selections include...
This healing and warm melodious experience is filled with heart healing energy. Dreamy guitar takes center stage
as a rich landscape of sounds creates a moment of reflection. The tracks melt beautifully together to create an
escape into serenity.
Bradley Powell's flawless playing allows you to completely relax into sleep or relax into an evening of candlelight and romance. I've fallen into a peaceful sleep while listening to this music and have also spent relaxing afternoons reading while The Candlelight Guitarist wove an intricate tapestry of sounds to nurture my heart.
Bradley Powell's music soothes the soul and leads you into a tranquil space of musical paradise."
Rebecca Johnson ~The Rebecca Review
Aura of Serenity is about the glow you radiate when your inner spirit finds serenity.
A Place To Find Peace is inspired by the sanctuary we all can find (in the middle of a crazy world) to refresh our spirit...if we just look and take the time to go there.
My Imaginary Hammock lets you sway in the warm breeze just about anywhere you choose.
Sunflower Serenity also includes Brad's original
"Brown Bag Baroque Suite" (tracks 8-15), for your "brown bag lunch" listening pleasure! It's a nod to the
suites
of Bach and Handel...with movements inspired by flora and fawna around his home in Lytle Creek. Caterpillar Chaconne into Butterfly is inspired by the chrysalis and capacity for transformation (you never know until you try!) In the baroque era, a "chaconne" was a series of variations developing over a short harmonic progression. For Brad, that seemed like the perfect musical vehicle to portray the caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly. Once the caterpillar "chaconne" is complete, the piece takes on a new appearance as a butterfly (yet, with the same genetic-musical material.)
Teddy Bear’s Joyful Jig, is fun tune inspired by a Chow Chow friend (pictured). Ted seemed to do a dance whenever he entered a room! You'll want to dance along with your Teddy Bear!
With Today's The Day, the CD closes with an inspiring reminder that today is the best place to begin making a brighter future.
