Laura Sullivan: What's New

We are celebrating! Our daughter, Shaela, is born! We are tired, but everyone is healthy and happy...

Feast of Joy & Love, is now available.

Johanna Pieterman is working on another beautiful album cover for my forthcoming release! She created the original artwork for Mystical America and is now drawing the album cover for Feast of Joy and Love to be released in March 2007. Many thanks to Johanna for sharing her wonderful talent once again!

My songs are now licensed through Muzak. Please visit them for your music on hold, and other music needs for your business.

My music is now available for licensing through Triple Scoop Music. Videographers and Photographers, please check them out for your music needs.

The music for my new album, Feast of Joy & Love, is in the final mixing stage! The new CD will be available early 2007. Piano, violin and saxophone for Feast of Joy & Love was recorded at Diamond Audio Productions in San Francisco, by David Austin. San Francisco artists Anthony Blea (violin) and Noel Jewkes (saxophone) lend their talents to the recording.

Instrumentally the album consists of piano with ethereal vocals and other acoustic instruments. The songs are organized in the album as appetizers, first & second courses and dessert.

The music style is relaxing and soothing New Age/Classical. The songs consist of my own compositions along with 5 classical arrangements: a medley of Bach called "Bouquet of Bach", "Ala M'Ode to Joy", based on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", "Waltzing with Beethoven" adapted from the Sonata Pathetique, "Albinoni's Secret Smile" which is an arrangement of the traditional Albinoni's Adagio with a surprise joyful key change, and a new arrangement of Greensleeves. The music is inspired by the ways my life has been blessed with abundance, love and joy.

I'm delighted that my music is included in a multimedia presentation on North America's biggest conservation effort: Yellowstone to Yukon. Join award winning photographer Florian Schulz on a journey through this magical land along the spine of the continent. It stretches from Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks in the south all the way up into the far north along the majestic Northern Rocky Mountains. Here the mighty grizzly still roams the land and the howl of the wolves echoes through the valleys. Come eye to eye with the mountain grizzly as seen through the lens of the photographer. Florian will tell fascinating stories behind the images as well as unwrap the Yellowstone to Yukon Vision.

Ihave news that my music can now be heard on Itunes Radio on the Classical station Whisperings. Tune in to hear the music of many fine pianists. You can also hear my songs on Whisperings now on Tivo.
