A CD of piano music of Debussy, Liszt and Chopin played by Graham Williams, featuring ‘Clair de Lune’.

Each piece opens in us the emotions we feel in response to the world of light and water: stillness and peace, shimmering sensuality, power, and gentleness.

Music is a form of meditation and the qualities of light and water form a major focus in the meditation tradition. All of these pieces, in some way or another, evoke light and water by creating the atmosphere of their different effects and the emotions we experience in response. From the clear, cool light of moonlight to the rushing brilliance of a fountain, the sparkle of a sunlit pagoda to the yearning tenderness which can flow through us like a stream, they open in us the feelings which the flowing, luminous world around us evokes.

A CD of piano music of Olivier Messiaen, one of the greatest French composers of the 20th century, played by Graham Williams. This CD features the beautifully meditative
"I sleep, but my heart keeps watch".

Messiaen’s music is like a turning crystal, reflecting different colours and lights from the same source. It is brilliant; ranging from exquisite sweetness and tenderness to exuberant joy. To listen to Messiaen, don’t try to follow it – it doesn’t go anywhere. Like meditation, he takes an idea, an emotion and then opens it up, moving from facet to facet. Simply allow your mind and body to open and absorb the music.

To understand Messiaen and his music is to know that he was, above all, a man of love.

I LOVE it!
Ross Edwards
Australian Composer

What wonderful music – an amazing combination of dazzling radiance and serenity, hypnotic and almost jazzy at times. It is a lovely three-dimensional space to inhabit, like a jungle at night full of birds and shooting stars. The music is so strong, yet delicate and tender at the same time. I just love it.
