Album Description

The first rays of sunlight pierce the morning mist, revealing a serene glade hidden deep within the forest. The gentle melodies of David Gordon's piano float through the trees, as birdsong and a bubbling stream seem to join in. The meadow awakens to the whisper on a silver flute and the pure tones of Steve Gordon's acoustic guitar. Relax and visit this peaceful place in the forest, anytime you desire peace of mind.

Customer Reviews:

Complex serenity.......1999-02-03

David and Steve Gordon have converged the art of creativity, e.g. musical spirit, with Nature's sounds of life in this phenomenally peaceful collection of sound. Their skill has remained colorfully competent, bringing the listener into the cool forest of notes, gurgles and chirps. Highly recommended.

This CD is a must for those who crave "environmental music"........1999-01-08

I bought the cassette tape verison of this work several years ago. I wanted to have some background music for at home activities such as: drawing, reading, and meditation.

I own about 30 other CDs and tapes of this kind of music. Misty Forest Morning is by far the best of the lot.

This very calming mix of flute, guitar, and water sounds will propel you instantly into a theta state.

Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

"the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

Buy it!.......2001-03-10

Taylor Mali is by far the most dominant, original, and flat out boppin' slam poet. Every single one of his poems are filled with pizzaz and emphasis. Mali is not only the man when it comes to poetry, but is a damn good history teacher too. Buy anything of his that you can.

a different Taylor Mali..........2001-01-08

For those who haven't had the opportunity to see Taylor Mali perform, this CD is definitely a great introduction. For those who have seen him perform, it just might lend a different perspective on his work. Those pieces I'd heard performed at slams in the past, particularly "Totally Like Whatever", were somewhat disappointing for me on this CD. This is obviously a guy who thrives on competition and audiences, and the "live" versions of his poems are infinitely better because he really does come alive on stage. However, hearing his work performed without all the high drama of slam competition did give me a chance to appreciate the verbal nuances of his work in a way I hadn't in the past. He's a better and more versatile *writer* (not just slammer) than some people are willing to admit.

The greatest Ever.......2000-10-21

In a new form of poetry, slam, the mix of a great hip-hop type beat placed in the poems and the rap-style speech is a great mix, especially when the poet is sucha talented man and great person. For three years, i knew the poet from being a student of his, and forever will cherish the lessons he taught. As im sure all who had mr. mali will say, he is the best teacher with the greatest peronality you could ever meet. I have heard most of the poems and know the true excellence they display. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who enjoys spoken word and contemporary style music.

The Free Zone is a Nice Place to Visit.......2006-07-05

Larry Steelman's "Free Zone" is a mellow listen with enough edge to keep you engaged. There are essenses of more widely known Yellowjackets and Bob James throughout the eleven tracks. There is a variety of style and texture to appeal to a wide audience. The production is worthy of the fine musicians that join Steelman. Worth having in your collection.
