NURTURE THE SOUL BY SOLITUDES (DAN GIBSON)

You could sum up the mission of the "Solitudes" series with three words - "Take life easy." Each of their programs seeks to remove you from the 9-5 grind, dropping you in some undisturbed Eden deep in the wilderness. NURTURE THE SOUL lives up to that promise and then some - the music here is a gorgeous array of strings, piano, winds and keyboard polish. The melodies have an emotional lilt to them, yet retain a simplistic style. In other words, it's great for relaxation. Dan Gibson's crystal clear recordings of nature sounds (birds, rushing water) gently fill the background, making you feel as if your recliner was magically transported to a nearby nature preserve.

PACHELBEL IN THE GARDEN BY SOLITUDES (DAN GIBSON)

At his time, Johann Pachelbel was considered one of the great masters of baroque music. Although many of his fugues and chorales still exist to this day, the piece of his that has truly stood the test of time is his "Canon in D Major," considered by many to be one of the most beautiful melodies ever created. PACHELBEL IN THE GARDEN, from the "Solitudes" series, features an assortment of variations of the "Canon" performed using piano, strings, winds, guitar and wordless vocals. The sense of peacefulness is furthered by Dan Gibson's nature sounds (birdsong, flowing fountain waters), which frolic in the background of each track.

PACHELBEL FOREVER BY THE SEA BY SOLITUDES (DAN GIBSON)

PACHELBEL FOREVER BY THE SEA BY DAN GIBSON

On PACHELBEL FOREVER BY THE SEA, one of the most enduring compositions in classical music is combined with one of nature's most constant, soothing sounds, the sea. The album opens with the tranquil sounds of the beckoning waves. This introduces a very faithful interpretation of the traditional arrangement. What follow are imaginative reworkings of the "Canon", each with subtle shadings and individual moods, gently taking the listener further out to sea. Dan Gibson's natural sounds are strikingly authentic and musician Michael Maxwell's synthesizer and guitar adaptations of the canon intrigue as well as soothe. The album closes as it began, with the familiar Pachelbel "Canon" and gentle ocean waves bringing us home.
