Like a healing balm, the melodies of the native flute

Mark Holland's album of flute music FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS is appropriately subtitled "Songs for Healing and Peace." The music here is quiet, acoustic, and serene, evoking feelings of inner stillness and well being. Holland is one of the most respected practitioners of the Native American flute tradition, and his range is on prominent display here. He plays a variety of differently registered flutes made from various types of wood--each of which has its own voice, timbre, and effect.
Among Holland's original compositions are versions of "Amazing Grace" and "Be Still My Soul," and the selection of these devotional songs is perfectly in keeping with the artist's spiritual expressions. The entire album has a hushed, intensely focused feel that is stirring, but the overall effect is one of calm. FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS is serious yet soothing music that lends itself to everything from prayer to meditation to simple after-work relaxation. reviewer unknown.

    You have never heard Amazing Grace sound as beautiful as it does coming from Mark Hollands flute. First time I played it I had to stop what I was doing and just soak it in. The whole cd is incredibly beautiful! Thank you Mark!

  • wonderful arrangements, new tunes and old

    This CD is a little unusual for Mark, mostly solo flute, just Mark, not with Autumn's Child. The results are awesome. My all-time favorite arrangement of the hymn "Be Still My Soul", other hymm arrangements and tunes that sound sacred, that are a blessing. Music to listen to when you need calm, when you need a blessing.

  • love mark arrangements in this cd.
