Here on Earth, the joyous song of birds, streams and oceans inspires us to realize the glory of Heaven On Earth. As we awaken to this Heavenly Consciousness reflected in the music of Creation, each man and woman becomes a bridge between Heaven and Earth.

Ocean, earth, air and stars--
All spring from the Great Oneness
Where there is light and hope,
Freedom and Bliss,
And you alone must make your return
To the deeper peace within
To discover this!

You can make your choice--
So come, and enter the Presence

Album Notes - Music To Harmonize The Aura (Formerly "Mother Of Pearl")

This is a digital remix, editing and remastering by Warren Dennis Kahn at Banquet Sound Studios, Santa Rosa, California (2001). Produced by Joel Andrews and Schawkie Roth.

Tone poems for meditation, relaxation, massage, harmonizing the aura, and the unfolding of love. "As musicians and composers, we believe this music to be of deep healing significance. For 7,000 years the harp and the flute have been complementing each other, and this ideal combination has been found to be uplifting and healing, especially for the heart and throat chakras."

In The New Age art forms are being combined to intensify effects. Knowing that fragrances act on the subtle psychic centers, these artists choose to work with the High Vibration Essences of Omar, some of the highest oils available in the world (which have been further blessed by this master perfumer). They were inhaled and placed on the forehead before each session. The musicians experienced an ecstatic lifting of consciousness which they have infused into these transcendent improvisations. The fragrances were "Mother of Pearl" and "Green Ray," and "Crystal."

Attunement for "Awakening in Peace" included a period of silent meditation followed by the chanting of "OM."

1. Mother Of Pearl - 8:04
2. Fragrances Of Green (Journey Of A Stream) - 14:04

You are the ocean
one life, one sea
moving over the earth
like an infinite ecology.

touches your body with life

loving each grain of sand nestling
in the story of creation and the sea
and in all green rolling hills
there is a constancy

Album Notes - Hymns For All Seasons

Side 1 emphasizes more classical melodies, and features the superb harpist, Deborah Henson-Conant. Side 2 emphasizes those melodies that have lent themselves to improvisation for piano, flute, saxophone and the jazz quartet featuring Kit Walker, Susan Muscarella and Si Perkoff on piano. I am also grateful for the fine musicmanship and spirit expressed by Bill Douglas on string bass, and also the marvelous drum playing by George Marsh and Michael Aragon.

I would also like to acknowledge the loving support of my wife, Danielle, my co-ministers Frank Evans and Carol Gallacci, and all the composer of the hymns and melodies whose music really made this album possible. Most of all, I thank the Creator, the true giver of gifts and source of all creativity.
