The idea behind this composition was to capture the essence of events that occur while the trees "sleep" their winter slumber. You might picture the early morning freeze, a light slow, and then finally the full fury of a winter storm. |

One of the hightlights of our visit to Salzburg was hanging out in Mozart's childhood apartment. It was evening, and outside snow was falling, covering the streets. It was very cold, and the warm interior of Mozart's living quarters was a welcome change. The apartment had a dreamy ambience to it, caused in part by the decorative lighting which created a sense of timelessness. Then we saw it: there, encased in glass and suspended by wires was Mozart's violin - the real thing, not a replica. The lights on the display case gave the impression it was floating, making the scene all the more surreal. For several minutes I stood there, transfixed. It was, in many ways, like seeing the holy grail of musical instruments. What a memory. |

Solo Piano, Instrumental. The Vigil is written in such a way as to imply that the song is being created at the moment it is recorded. Imagine a composer, sitting down at the piano in the middle of a sleepless night and finding a small melody. This melody expands and grows until it finds completion. |

As I began writing new music for my Christmas CD, 'O Come Emmanuel', the thought occurred to me, what gift would I have to bring to the Christ child? I certainly don't have gold, or anything fancy like the wise men did. No, I really have nothing of value to give Jesus but my music. So, here is my gift, written to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. |

Ever imagined what it might be like to be inside a snow globe? That's what Salzburg, Austria felt like during our visit. HUGE snowflakes floated down like feathers from the sky, covering the cobblestone streets in no time. What make the visit especially magical was that with Christmas just a month away, Salzburg was lit up like a Christmas tree. All the village shops were decorated with colored lights in preparation for the holiday season. In the short 36 hours we were there, Salzburg completely won my heart. It was the most romantic of all the locations my wife and I visited during our travels, and I very much look forward to visiting again. |

Home - This track, once considered a back-up track, has matured into what may be the most beautiful track on ‘The Vigil’ CD. The compositions introductory theme leads very naturally into the central dream-like waltz that is the foundation of the entire piece. |

The main theme of this composition was actually written prior to Nevue’s first album, ‘The Tower.’ The song however, remained on the drawing board for some time. Finally released on ‘The Last Waking Moment,’ ‘No More Tears’ has become a fan favorite. Based on Revelation 21:2-5 |

As I began writing this composition, the prevailing melody just struck me as something I could hear vocalist Jewel Kilcher singing. So, in that light, I completed the piece with her song-style in mind. |

Originally entitled ‘Gypsy River’ the composition started out as a technical exercise for the left hand. This inspired a ‘Moldau’-like invention that captured a rivers imaginary journey from the mountains to the sea. Later, the rather ‘Russian’ sound the composition took on inspired the ‘Gypsy River’ title. |
