  • These are truly musical conversations with majestic creatures; not to be missed.
    author: Tamara Turner, CD Baby

    Using the simple, evocative beauty of nature's voices as her inspiration for these musical gems, pianist, composer, teacher and renowned artist Patricia Burge, takes us from the depths of the churning ocean where we are surrounded by the haunting calls of dolphins to the grassy meadows of Rocky Mountain National Park where we hear the primal, chilling call of bull elk. Burge has a style that is so strikingly fresh to the classical-new age scene. Unlike so many new age-tinged piano albums, Songs of the Earth is passionate, emotional and shaking. Her blend of classical, jazz and blues writing with an accessible presentation reaches young children, teenagers, adults and the elders, for no matter what age we are the Earth's beauty, conveyed through sound, taps into something older than our own lives, our generation. Burge has a unique gift to let the voices of this magical Earth live through her songs. When you hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk, lifted up by Burge's playing just as much as the wind streaming through its wings, you can't help but feel you are joining the hawk in its play. These are truly musical conversations with majestic creatures. From the voice of the bear to the bull elephant to the jay to the artic fox, this album will remind you that you too are part of this ecoweb and that between human beings and the animal kingdom, there is a fragile, endangered relationship we must nurture. By far, this will be one of CD Baby's sparkling piano CDs I will heartily recommend whenever I can. I simply adore and love this album.
