Visions of Heaven: Music for Inspiration

Beautiful interpretations of sacred music – choral, organ, solo voice – to bring peace and comfort in today’s world. 

The album “Visions of Heaven” is a collection of perceptive musical messages – timeless melodies for the soul – chosen from among the most sacred and inspiring melodies of the classical world. Never before have the works of Bach, Durufle, and Barber (among others) been combined for a more spiritually uplifting collection. The beauty of the repertoire selected will appeal broadly to both secular and non-secular audiences alike. Lavishly packaged, this release invites us to listen in on just what heaven may sound like in the mind’s eye – inspiring experiences full of light, golden dreams and possibly even a flight with the angels themselves. Visions of Heaven will take listeners on a freeing and enlivening audio journey of discovery to that special place where only angels venture.
